Private investigations / by Jardine, Quintin,author.;: Former Chief Constable Bob Skinner has uncovered his fair share of crime scenes over his 30-year career. But few have affected him quite as much as the horrifying sight he finds stowed in the back of a stolen car that collides with his own on the outskirts of Edinburgh. As his former colleagues investigate the mystery, Skinner is left to take on the unusual challenge of tracing a million-pound yacht, vanished from its mooring. From the outside, the two events couldn't seem less connected. And yet, as the body count rises, a link surfaces that could provide the key to both. And as discord spreads within the newly unified Police Scotland, it will soon become clear whether Skinner is on the side of the angels - or working against them.; Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Skinner, Bob (Fictitious character); Police;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 2; unAPI
Perfect crime / by Fields, Helen,1969-author.;: Stephen Berry is about to jump off a bridge when a suicide prevention counsellor stops him. One week later, Stephen Berry is dead, found at the bottom of a cliff. But did he take his own life ... or was he pushed? A spate of murders sweeps across Edinburgh, and to make matters worse for DI Luc Callanach and DCI Ava Turner, the victims seem random and entirely unconnected. With no clear method for how the killer chooses their victims, Callanach and Turner are under more pressure than ever to identify the killer before it's too late. But as a separate murder case rears its head and places Callanach as the prime suspect, it seems like this killer might just be uncatchable ...; Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Serial murder investigation; Suicide; Police; Serial murderers;; Available copies: 0 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
Saints of the shadow bible / by Rankin, Ian.;: Rebus is back on the force, albeit with a demotion and a chip on his shoulder. A 30-year-old case is being reopened, and Rebus's team from back then is suspected of foul play. With Malcolm Fox as the investigating officer are the past and present about to collide in a shocking and murderous fashion? And does Rebus have anything to hide? His colleagues back then called themselves 'the Saints', and swore a bond on something called 'the Shadow Bible'.

The wages of sin / by Welsh, Kaite,author.;: Sarah Gilchrist has fled London and a troubled past to join the University of Edinburgh's medical school in 1892, the first year it admits women. She is determined to become a doctor despite the misgivings of her family and society, but Sarah quickly finds plenty of barriers at school itself: professors who refuse to teach their new pupils, male students determined to force out their female counterparts, and--perhaps worst of all--her female peers who will do anything to avoid being associated with a fallen woman. Desperate for a proper education, Sarah turns to one of the city's ramshackle charitable hospitals for additional training. The St Giles' Infirmary for Women ministers to the downtrodden and drunk, the thieves and whores with nowhere else to go. In this environment, alongside a group of smart and tough teachers, Sarah gets quite an education. But when Lucy, one of Sarah's patients, turns up in the university dissecting room as a battered corpse, Sarah finds herself drawn into a murky underworld of bribery, brothels, and body snatchers. Painfully aware of just how little separates her own life from that of her former patient's, Sarah is determined to find out what happened to Lucy and bring those responsible for her death to justice. But as she searches for answers in Edinburgh's dank alleyways, bawdy houses and fight clubs, Sarah comes closer and closer to uncovering one of Edinburgh's most lucrative trades, and, in doing so, puts her own life at risk.; Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Historical fiction.; Women medical students; Women physicians; Medical colleges; Murder;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI

In their jobs, DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach deal with death every day. But when it becomes clear that every bomb is a trap designed to kill them too, the possibility of facing it themselves starts to feel all too real. Five for silver, six for gold.
