Follow DCI 'Mac' McNeill, head of the city's Serious Crime Unit, as he untangles brutal, atmospheric cases while confronting demons from his own past. Blending tight police procedural detail with genuine psychological depth, this bestselling Scottish noir series is ideal for readers who love dark, character-driven crime fiction with a strong sense of place and an unforgettable detective at its centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Scars of the Past, McNeill investigates a body marked with Celtic symbols in a run-down Edinburgh tower block, a case tangled with the city's drug scene and a notorious crime lord. Strains of Innocence pushes Mac's mental resilience to breaking point with a case that defies logic and threatens to expose long-buried pain. Hand of the Wolf turns the spotlight on organised crime and territorial disputes across Edinburgh, revealing a conspiracy reaching far beyond street-level violence. Sins of the Fathers takes readers beneath the historic Mary King's Close, where a gruesome discovery links a present-day murder to an old ritual of generational guilt. Finally, The Price of Blood sees Mac return to the Isle of Skye, forced to confront the thirty-year-old unsolved murder of his own sister. Across all five novels, Jacqueline New maintains a consistently noir tone, weaving methodical procedural pacing with the emotional weight of a detective who cannot escape his own history. The authentic Edinburgh and Skye settings give every case a distinctive Scottish grit, rewarding readers who work through the set in sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll five complete DCI McNeill novels together in one paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Edinburgh and Isle of Skye settings with realistic police procedure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compelling detective arc exploring trauma, guilt and redemption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of Scottish crime writers like Ian Rankin or Val McDermid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new condition, ready to gift or add to any crime fiction collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJacqueline New was born in Yorkshire and trained as an interior designer before working in art and design.
