IN THIS THREE-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 1: MURDER IN THE GALLOWGATE
Detective Lola Harris returns from a miserable solo holiday only to find herself in charge of a high-stakes investigation. At the crime scene, there’s an old wooden chair and the rope hanging from its arms is stained red. Burned candles lend the scene an air of a completed ritual. And yet there is no sign of a body. Lola will have to work with the most obnoxious detective in Glasgow if she’s going to stop the killer from striking again.

BOOK 2: MURDER IN LOVERS’ LANE
Detective Lola’s new personal trainer is merciless when it comes to fitness. As they run around a corner in peaceful Pollok Park, Lola glimpses something that shouldn’t be there: a high-end BMW. Doors gaping. And a man and a woman, roped together. The man is stiff, cold. The woman is unconscious — but alive. With similarities to an old Liverpool case, Lola’s now in a race against time to stop the killer before they return to finish what they started.

BOOK 3: MURDER ON THE CLYDE
Detective Lola is heading back over the river from a rare night out when she spots a crowd of people looking over the parapet. Someone’s gone in. A witness swears it’s the work of the urban legend Clyde Pusher. A hooded figure with eight victims in five years. But according to the police, the Pusher doesn’t exist. While investigating, Lola’s higher-ups give her a rap on the knuckles. Someone is trying to derail the investigation. What are they trying to cover up?

**YOU GET ALL THREE BOOKS IN THIS BOX SET**

MEET THE DETECTIVE
Lola Harris, a former hairdresser, is able to get people to trust her at their most vulnerable. She can pierce the toughest facade, asking questions that get to the heart of the matter. But she knows she can play it “mumsy” when she needs to. She drinks too much coffee, and likes a Bacardi and Coke, though she tries not to drink because it makes her maudlin about her useless ex, Joe.

Lola’s main rival in the force is Detective Sergeant Aidan Pierce, who seems hell-bent on sabotaging the case — and her career with it. He thinks he’s the next big thing, and is intensely frustrated that she got ‘his’ promotion. Carefully dressed in expensive Italian suits, he’s a snob, very good looking and vain with it. He’s his own worst enemy, and his manipulative and toxic behaviour has been getting worse. At some point, Lola will have to confront him.

Luckily, Lola has Detective Constable Kirstie Campbell to back her up. Kirstie is committed and plays by the book.

THE SETTING
Glasgow is a city of many different faces, from gritty and unsettling, to modern and slick. It rains a lot: clouds make a lid over the city, and citizens hunch as they hurry about their business. Still, people are very friendly and like a good time.
