Where the Shadow Falls

A Scottish detective investigates a suspicious death with ties to a wind farm in this mystery by the author of Blood in the Water.
When the body of a retired sheriff is discovered in his grand house in the New Town of Edinburgh, Detective Sergeant Alice Rice finds herself hunting his killer. The search leads her to an unfamiliar world where wind-farm developers with millions of pounds at stake and protesters face each other with daggers drawn. Just as Alice thinks an answer is beginning to emerge, the sheriff's lover is killed in an apparent hit-and-run accident.
An unlikely coincidence or, as the search widens, is Alice now investigating a double murder?
Praise for Blood in the Water
“With this highly readable debut novel, Gillian Galbraith establishes what one hopes will be a long-running presence. This is a vivid and exciting story, set against the background of Edinburgh’s legal and medical circles. There is not a dull page from start to finish.” —Alexander McCall Smith
“Chilling realism.” —Edinburgh Evening News (UK)</DESC>
