The Hidden Eye

His past has come back to haunt him…

DCI MacBain has always been troubled by the death of his father. It isn’t the first time he’s gone
back to Loch Ness to try and solve it. It’s because of this that MacBain is uniquely prepared to
investigate the case of a murdered data analyst, the same profession his father had.

But that’s where the similarities end between the cases. The modern murder was brutal, violent,
and seemingly unplanned. And it’s not the only one.

MacBain and his partner, Fletcher, are following a string of bodies that seemingly lead nowhere.
Only down a rabbit hole of conspiracies, prejudice, and danger. The pair must untangle the
mystery before the killer and the conspiracy get away from them.

Fatal Transaction

This job is only for the obsessed…

Police work is in DCI MacBain’s blood. He knows the toll the job takes on an individual, having
seen it first hand from his mother, former Chief Inspector of the Inverness police. She knows all
about never giving up, no matter how cold the trail is.

So when MacBain and Fletcher are hit with a bank robbery case and a murder with no leads, the
last thing they can do is leave the case alone. But they get a break when a former thief and
criminal comes forward with information.

MacBain’s own prejudices get in the way, however, when they have to rely on someone outside
of the police department to help them. He will have to dig deep, step outside of his comfort zone,
and lean on his experience in order to solve the crime and live up to his mother’s name.
