Note: Originally published: London: Severn House, 2017 When a six-week-old baby is stolen from outside a village shop DI Costello quickly surmises there's more to this case than meets the eye. As she questions those involved, she uncovers evidence that this was no impulse act as the police initially assumed, but something cold, logical, meticulously planned. Who has taken Baby Sholto - and why? Colin Anderson meanwhile is on the Cold Case Unit, reviewing the unsolved rape of a young mother back in 1996. Convinced this wasn't the first - or last - time the attacker stuck, Anderson looks for a pattern. But when he does find a connection, it reaches back into his own past.

Note: Originally published: London: Severn House, 2017 Inside a beautiful, Victorian family home in Glasgow's West End, a mother and her young son are found brutally murdered. DI Costello is furious and knows exactly who did it, George Haggerty, the husband and father. The only problem is that Haggerty has a cast-iron alibi - the police themselves caught him speeding on the A9 at the time of the murders. But Costello can't let it go. Determined to expose Haggerty as a ruthless killer, she's gone solo. DCI Colin Anderson has no time to ponder his partner of twenty years going rogue, as his own cases are piling up. But Costello's absence becomes increasingly worrying. Has she completely disappeared following the tracks of a dangerous man?
