The Scottish Murder

Two killings, 500 miles apart seem unconnected. A girl’s body is discovered in a doorway in London and another body is found in Dundee, Scotland. As the murdered girl had recently travelled from London Police Scotland hand the case over to the Met. DCI Steve Burt ends up with both cases, then Scottish body is mysteriously stolen from the mortuary. As Steve and his team delve deeper they must battle political greed, a ruthless killer and major corruption. They unearth a devious plan that aims to give the UK complete world domination and make a government minister extraordinarily rich. However to protect this expected wealth, anyone in the way must be eliminated. This creates a succession of seemingly unrelated murders before the two cases are finally resolved.

Reviews of The Scottish Murder

Perfect book for mystery lovers

I just read @johnreidauthor last book and I have to tell you that it’s my favorite! After this week I was in need of a ‘dose of a good book’! In this new mystery, DCI Steve Burt finds himself immersed in two deaths that, although they don’t seem to be connected, are more than we thought! We have murders, corruption and an attempt at world domination! This is the perfect book for mystery lovers and it will hold us from beginning to end! I highly advise you to read this book, you won’t regret it!
