Cold Blood





A darkly atmospheric crime novel set against the stark beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

SHE NEVER CONFESSED. NOW SHE'S READY TO TALK.

Twelve years ago DI Monica Kennedy caught the notorious serial killer Pauline Tosh, imprisoning her for life.

When Tosh asks Monica to visit her at the remote Highlands Carselang prison, the detective thinks she's playing games.

But then Tosh hands her a hand-drawn map with a cross marking the desolate marsh lands near Inverness and Monica can't ignore it - she was always convinced there were more victims out there.

And when a body is discovered it looks like they've found a new name from Tosh's kill list.

But things are never that simple...

About the author

G. R. Halliday

G.R. Halliday was born in Edinburgh and grew up near Stirling in Scotland. He spent his childhood obsessing over the unexplained mysteries his father investigated, which has proved excellent inspiration for From the Shadows. The book was shortlisted for the McIlvanney Debut Prize 2019. G.R. Halliday now lives in the rural Highlands outside of Inverness, where he is able to pursue his favourite pastimes of mountain climbing and swimming in the sea, before returning home to his band of semi-feral cats. Dark Waters is his second novel.

Praise for Cold Blood

A tremendously atmospheric and tense read with fantastic characters who leap off the page and guide the story to a hugely satisfying conclusion. Brilliant.
