Scars of the Past
(2023)(The first book in the DCI McNeill Crime Thriller series)
A novel by Jacqueline New
In the heart of Edinburgh, a killer leaves a trail of secrets carved in blood.
As the leader of the Serious Crime Unit, DCI ‘Mac’ McNeill is no stranger to the city's darkest secrets. But when a body marked with Celtic symbols is discovered in a run-down tower block, the case challenges even his seasoned instincts.
With the victim's ties to the treacherous drug scene and a notorious crime lord complicating matters, Mac seeks the help of Dr. Clio Wray, an expert in ancient symbology.
But when a second body emerges, an unsettling connection is made to Mac himself and the case spirals into uncharted territory.
‘Scottish noir at its gritty, grizzly best. Highly recommended." – Kerry J. Donovan
