The Highlands University of Ghostology
(2026)(The seventh book in the McTavish Chronicles series)
A novel by Iwan Ross
Britain is losing its ghosts.Jane Seymour has vanished from Hampton Court. Earl Beardie has abandoned his eternal card game with the Devil. Tourism is collapsing, the Crown is panicking, and nobody can explain where the dead have gone.
Retired detective Coby McTavish has troubles closer to home — a gambling debt he can't pay, a wife he can't face, and a deadline of Friday. So when a letter arrives offering him a lectureship at a university he's never heard of, he signs without asking questions.
He should have asked questions.
The Highlands University of Ghostology keeps its students above ground and its collection thirteen levels below it. And when a five-hundred-year-old order of bowler-hatted gentlemen takes Coby's son to guarantee his cooperation, he discovers he isn't investigating the disappearances at all.
He's the one being used to cause them.
Book one of a new series set in the world of the Haunted Highlands mysteries. Perfect for readers who like their ghost stories with a dry sense of humour, a Scottish winter, and five centuries of Tudor grudges.
Genre: Mystery
