Over 5000 five-star reviews. Seven gripping Scottish detective novels in one outstanding box set.
DI Jack Knox is a rare thing: a detective who's experienced but not jaded, caring but not sentimental, and clever without being arrogant. He leads by example, not bravado. He’s a widower, quietly grieving, and navigating a complicated, secret relationship — but none of this is played for melodrama. He’s just a good copper, doing a hard job.
These books don’t rely on over-the-top twists, vigilante detectives, or serial killers with gimmicks. They present procedural investigation as it actually happens: methodical, collaborative, and driven by logic, instinct, and the occasional dead end. They’re absorbing because they feel true.
Think Line of Duty without the shootouts, or Rebus without the whisky-soaked drama.
In the shadows of Edinburgh, justice is never straightforward. But DI Jack Knox is the man who won't let a case go.
From the fogbound paths of Calton Hill to the alleys of Leith and the quiet villages beyond, Knox investigates murders, disappearances, and crimes that cut to the heart of the community. He works methodically, with calm precision and an eye for detail, uncovering the truth layer by careful layer.
Whether it’s a body with no name, a young woman who vanishes without a trace, or a crime that points to powerful people who don’t want to be questioned, Knox follows where the evidence leads — even when it puts him in the firing line.
This bestselling series is grounded in authentic police work, rich with detail and complex characters. With a loyal team at his back — and the weight of past losses on his shoulders — Knox knows justice takes time, and it doesn’t come easy.
Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, Ann Cleeves, Peter May, and D.S. Butler.
DETECTIVE PROFILE
DI Jack Knox is a steady, pragmatic detective with decades of experience and a quiet intensity. A widower, he keeps his private life close, but beneath the reserve is a man who still cares deeply — about victims, about justice, and about the people he leads. He doesn’t chase headlines. He just does the job, one step at a time.
SETTING
The series is set in Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders — a brooding landscape of ancient closes, coastal mists, and city backstreets where every case is shaped by local tensions, old loyalties, and the quiet weight of history. These are crimes that feel close to home.
