The First Cut

Scottish Police Superintendent Terrence Reid, heir to a Scottish title and whiskey fortune, can't seem to catch a break. His race to derail the money pipeline fueling a string of deadly terrorist attacks suffers a devastating setback when his informant is brutally murdered. Reid's chief suspect, a ruthless financier, always seems to be one step ahead of him. After one of his own men is murdered, Reid suspects he's got a traitor in his camp. Life gets even more complicated after Anne, Reid's young American wife, arrives from California with some startling news that derails the couple's efforts to reconcile. When Anne, a historic garden restorer, takes on a commission that puts her right in the middle of Reid's investigation, things get dangerously personal. Fans of Elizabeth George, Deborah Crombie, Tana French, Ruth Rendell, Ann Cleves, and other British detective stories and literary mysteries will enjoy this series.
