Gillian Galbraith

In this gritty, mystery series debut, a lone wolf detective must use her wits to nab a serial killer terrorizing Edinburgh professionals.

If it was me, if I was the murderer, Alice thought, where would I go? What would I do? The job he had set himself was unfinished, he must be aware that his luck could not go on forever. It was a simple calculation; at best, a lifetime in prison, at worst he’d be killed by the police while attempting to complete his self-appointed task . . .

 Introducing Alice Rice, Edinburgh detective. Smart and capable, but battling disillusionment and loneliness, she races against time and an implacable killer to solve a series of grisly murders among Edinburgh’s professional elite in the well-to-do New Town.

An Alice Rice Mystery

Blood in the Water: An Alice Rice Mystery: Book 1

A body found near Edinburgh’s red-light district sends a cop into a seamy underworld in this “fast-paced” crime thriller. (Scots Magazine).

 On a freezing midwinter night in Leith, a policewoman’s flashlight stabs the darkness in a snow-covered cemetery. The circle of light stops on a colorless, dead face. So begins the hunt for a serial murderer of prostitutes requiring Alice Rice to plunge into a hidden world where sex is bartered for money and drugs. At the same time, Alice’s off-duty life continues its uneven course, as her romance with artist Ian Melville offers the prospect of happiness but is plagued by insecurity, and Alice’s demented but determined neighbor, Miss Spinnell, offers a new challenge to Alice’s patience at every turn.

 This atmospheric thriller is part of the acclaimed police procedural series featuring “a strong female detective on the Scottish crime scene” (The Bookbag).
