Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Salt water lifts blood. Only salt water.
Blood, Salt, Water (Alec Morrow 5)
What you need to know before your trail
Loch Lomond is a mile deep but the woman’s body surfaced anyway. She has been found bludgeoned to death and dumped in the water. All she can do now is haunt the man who put her there. She trusted Iain Fraser and now that misplaced trust is gnawing through Iain’s chest. He thinks it will kill him.
Nearby Helensburgh is an idyllic Victorian town. One-time home to a quarter of all the millionaires in Britain, it is quaint, sleepy and chocolate-box pretty. But the real town is shot through with deception, lies and vested interests.
As tensions rise and the police seek a killer, the conflicts that lurk beneath Helensburgh’s calm waters threaten to explode. All Iain Fraser has to do is keep on lying.
Travel Guide
Helensburgh – ” a twee Scottish seaside town”
Tommy and Iain were heading out of the wild, back to Helensburgh on the road that cut through chocolate-box Scotland. On high, rugged hills mist clung to the lochans and rain blackened the stone cliffs.
Loch Lomond
Loch Lomond was a mile deep in some places. There was nowhere to go but down.
There was a rain-threatening sky, low grey clouds muting all the colours on the mountains. The police officers walk through the sand dunes, industrial dumps, destined for a golf course, neon yellow and very high.
Glasgow
Cadogan Street was in the old commercial district of Glasgow city centre, Monumental Victorian office buildings in blood red sandstone face off across narrow street. They were all blank and imposing.”
Glasgow was strong cheese. No to everyone’s liking.
