2023: Dave Kellock is a pillar of the community in Portobello, Edinburgh
In Her Shadow
What you need to know before your trail
Dave Kellock is a pillar of the community in Portobello, Edinburgh. A tireless volunteer who never misses a chance to help others, he’s just been recognised on the King’s Honours List.
Dave Kellock is also a fraud. A moment of panic, violence and blood twenty years ago plagues his dreams. He’s been hiding himself in Portobello, terrified that his past will catch up with him. Now that his photo has been in the paper, collecting his award, the truth won’t stay buried for long.
Someone is watching Dave, at every turn, even making calls from within his own house and bringing the police to his door. The clock is ticking – he needs to find who’s behind this before the police find him.

Edinburgh
Portobello is a lovely part of Edinburgh with a beach and a bookshop! Most of the story takes place in and around here as it’s Dave’s part of town. The city of Edinburgh as a whole is well evoked from the old town to the new town.
The trams, the bridges, the old town and the new town are all mentioned. Towns along the coast like Musselborough. A good picture of Edinburgh and the Lothians!
