2019: War is coming to No-Man’s Land, and Connor Fraser will be ready.
No Man’s Land
What you need to know before your trail
A mutilated body is found dumped at Cowane’s Hospital in the heart of historic Stirling. For DCI Malcolm Ford it’s like nothing he’s ever seen before, the savagery of the crime makes him want to catch the murderer before he strikes again. For reporter Donna Blake it’s a shot at the big time, a chance to get her career back on track and prove all the doubters wrong. But for close protection specialist Connor Fraser it’s merely a grisly distraction from the day job.
But then another bloodied and broken corpse is found, this time in the shadow of the Wallace Monument – and with it, a message. One Connor has received before, during his time as a police officer in Belfast.
With Ford facing mounting political and public pressure to make an arrest and quell fears the murders are somehow connected to heightened post-Brexit tensions, Connor is drawn into a race against time to stop another murder. But to do so, he must question old loyalties, confront his past and unravel a mystery that some would sacrifice anything – and anyone – to protect
Travel Guide
Stirling and Cowane’s Hospital
From the website:
Established in 1637, Cowane’s Hospital Trust is Scotland’s oldest surviving charitable Trust. The Trust recently undertook a major conservation project to conserve the historic fabric of the Cowane’s Hospital building. In addition to looking after the building, the Trust provides relief for those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage through the provision of housing, and in particular special needs housing, in Stirling.
Wallace Monument, Stirling
William Wallace was a Scottish knight who became one of the main leaders during the First War of Scottish Independence.
Scene of a murder here but in reality, an iconic nod to history – the monument is 67 m (220 ft) and sits on the shoulder of the Abbey Craig, a hilltop overlooking the city. A number of artifacts believed to have belonged to Wallace are on display inside the monument, including the Wallace Sword.
