INTRODUCING FRANK
Born in Glasgow,
Frank was plagued from a young age
with the urge to see more of the
world than the rain sodden slopes of
the Campsie Fells. By the time he
graduated from University with a
degree he hated, he’d already had
more jobs than the River Clyde has
bends. Short stints as a lumberjack
in the Scottish Highlands and a
moulder’s labourer in the local
foundry convinced Frank that his
degree was not such a bad idea after
all. Twenty-five years of working
overseas helped him appreciate the
raw beauty of his home country. Now
a dual US/UK citizen, Frank divides
his time between Richmond, Virginia,
and Glasgow, Scotland, carrying out
research in the local pubs and
restaurants. Frank is
currently doing some serious book
research in St. Andrews' local pubs,
and working on his next novel,
another crime story suffused with
dark alleyways and cobbled streets
and some things gruesome.

The
dead don't talk, but their
corpses can send a
terrifying message.
When DCI Andy Gilchrist
is called to a crime scene
on the Old Course of St
Andrews to find an amputated
hand clutching a note
addressed to him, a note
that contains only one word
- MURDER - he is pulled into
an investigation that will
test him to the limit.
When more single word
clues are found along with
other amputated body parts,
the murderer's vengeful
intent becomes all too
clear. But when
someone close to Gilchrist
disappears, he realizes he
has not acted soon enough.
Together with Nance Wilson,
the sexy DS with her own
agenda, Gilchrist battles
on, only to discover that
the answer to the present
murders lies within the
secrets of the past.
Forced to confront his
demons, Gilchrist must solve
the cryptic clues before the
next victim, a woman whose
life means more to him
than his own, is served up
to him piece by slaughtered
piece. |
