'The delight about Robertson is the way he slots in so neatly between the more visceral and blackly funny Stuart MacBride and the generally safer confines of Rankin's Rebus, so what you get is a good solid police procedural underpinned by an adept feeling for the realm of human relationships and the darker recesses of the human psyche.' Eurocrime
'Hot on the blood-soaked heels of Robertson s previous hits, Random and Snapshot, Cold Grave takes a spine-tingling setting and an original storyline and adds something more. In Scottish crime fiction, we have an abundance of maverick sleuths and jaded old hands, but there s a gap in the market for a hot new crime-fighting couple. Narey and Winter have just claimed it.'
'The cold climate of Scandinavian crime fiction is invoked by the publishers of Craig Robertson's highly persuasive novel, and not without justice. It is November 1993, and Scotland is suffering under an ice-cold winter, with the Lake of Menteith froze over. A young man and woman are able to walk to the historic island of Inchmahome located in the middle of the lake. But only the man returns. Spring arrives, and as the Abbey prepares for summer visitors, the body of a girl is discovered with her skull crushed. In the present day, retired detective Alan Narey finds he cannot forget the unsolved crime...'Barry Forshaw, Good Book Crime Guide --Daily Record
Even the coldest case will eventually crack. November 1993. Scotland is in the grip of the coldest winter in living memory and the Lake of Menteith is frozen over. A young man and woman walk across the ice to the historic island of Inchmahome which lies in the middle of the lake. Only the man comes back. In the spring, as staff prepare the abbey ruins for summer visitors, they discover the unidentifiable remains of the body of a girl, her skull violently crushed. Twenty years later, present day. Retired detective Alan Narey is still haunted by the unsolved crime. Desperate to relieve her father's conscience DS Rachel Narey returns to the Lake of Menteith and unofficially reopens the cold case. With the help of police photographer Tony Winter, Rachel discovers that the one man her father had always suspected was the killer has recently died. Risking her job and reputation, Narey prepares a dangerous gambit to uncover the killer's identity - little knowing who that truly is. Despite the freezing temperatures the ice cold case begins to thaw, and with it a tide of secrets long frozen in time are suddenly and shockingly unleashed.
