THE FLOOD. BOOK 1.
Book Description:
Entering the kitchen, Fiona let out a gasp. The body lay askew on the floor and a trickle of blood ran from the man’s nose and across his cheek. Fiona felt deep fear as she looked down at the man she never thought would meet this kind of end…
Still haunted by the historic murder of her parents, police officer Fiona MacLeish has been told by Police Scotland that she must take a break from the demands of a busy force. So she’s returned to her remote childhood home in the Borders, where she grew up with her aunt. A place where nobody even knows she’s in the police force.
But when a terrifying storm cuts the small farming community off, and the bloodied body of one of her aunt’s neighbours is found, she realises the very place she has gone to find peace may be far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined.
And, as the rain hammers down and the flood waters rise, the killer who is moving amongst them is getting braver…
If the killer finds out Fiona is really a police officer, she may be next. Has Fiona got what it takes to discover which of the trusted people in the tiny rural community is a murderer before they strike again?
The Flood is the first book in the Fiona MacLeish series. With an unforgettable setting, a strong female lead and packed with twists, this is the perfect read for fans of J.M. Dalgliesh, J.D. Kirk and Simon McCleave.
Prologue
Fiona saw eyes filled with hate.
As much as she knew it wasn’t all directed at her, Fiona was compelled to recoil away from it such was the intensity of the anger streaming her way. As a police officer Fiona had seen killers before, but they were people who’d killed in the heat of the moment. Tonight she was staring into the eyes of someone who’d made a cold-hearted decision to take the lives of three people. Worst of all, Fiona was looking into the eyes of a killer from the wrong end of a shotgun.

THE ISLAND
Book Description:
Her hands bang desperately on the window of Fiona’s car door as the wind flaps her pink hair sideways. Through the glass the distraught mother shrieks, ‘Please, you have to find her! You have to find my little girl.’
When eight-year-old Cait Yorke goes missing on a remote island off the coast of the wild Scottish Highlands, police officer Fiona MacLeish is quickly sent to investigate. But a gale is gathering force, and Fiona becomes increasingly concerned for a little girl braving the strong winds alone. As Fiona questions the locals, she soon realises that they are hiding many secrets. What is this island, and who really lives here?
Then a boat violently crashes off the coast of the island. On board, Fiona discovers the body of a man who has clearly been murdered. But the killer is nowhere to be found. The only place they can be is on the island with no way out.
Realising a killer is trapped on their island, tensions amongst the locals and Fiona begin to rise. As the gale rages on and the body count continues to rise, will Fiona find the young girl and the killer before they strike again?
The Island is the second book in the Fiona MacLeish series, set against the remote Scottish Highlands. Fans of J.M. Dalgliesh, J.D. Kirk and Simon McCleave will love this character-driven police procedural with a dark twisty plot.
Prologue
His body was half submerged, but there was no mistaking his fate. His throat and upper torso were covered in blood, but there were also rents to the clothing at his groin.
Normal circumstances would have dictated that Fiona try and preserve the crime scene. That she not contaminate any possible source of evidence. That was a non-starter. Even if the island wasn’t temporarily cut off by the gale, it was far too dangerous to try and get a team here to extricate the corpse and sweep the crime scene. It was only a matter of minutes, maybe an hour at most, before the tide turned and the gale pushed heavy seas forward, to smash the Each-Uisge. Fiona’s inspection was all the unfortunate victim would receive and she was fully aware of the fact as she bent to examine him. The man who lay before her deserved justice, every bit as much as the person who’d committed this heinous act deserved to be imprisoned.
