A man is dead inside a locked Edinburgh flat. A year later, the police still have no idea who killed him.
Property developer Frederick Thornton lived an unusual but carefully ordered life. He had no permanent home, few friends and almost no social life. He bought buildings for cash, renovated them, moved on to the next project and accounted for every penny he earned.
Then someone struck him in the back of the head.
When police discover more than £200,000 hidden throughout his temporary home, robbery seems the obvious motive. Except the money hasn't been touched. Worse, Frederick's meticulous accounts reveal another £446,017 that should exist in cash but has simply vanished.
The investigation goes nowhere.
A year later, Frederick's daughter Abigail returns from Australia determined to take control of the property portfolio she inherited and discover why her father's killer is still free. What she finds instead are discrepancies in the business, a secretary helping himself to money, and questions the police seem unable to answer.
She needs someone who will start again.
Reginald Rook doesn't advertise. He doesn't need the money and has little interest in easy cases. A former soldier, intelligence analyst and detective, he takes investigations for one reason: something about them doesn't make sense.
Frederick Thornton's death doesn't make sense.
As Rook begins pulling apart the original investigation, he discovers hidden relationships, unexplained absences, family secrets and a fortune that apparently disappeared.
Everyone overlooked something.
Rook only needs to find out what.
And sometimes the smallest detail changes everything.

Acerca del autor
After the tragic loss of my girlfriend as a teenager, I sought an escape. My pub upbringing introduced me to a traveling gypsy family, and they allowed me to join their journey under one condition: I had to contribute. Soon, they discovered my talent for spontaneous storytelling, known as "pantsing."
In villages and towns, I showcased this gift, crafting stories based on audience suggestions after Mahala's performances. My dyslexia prevented me from pursuing writing as a profession, given the cost of ghostwriters and publishing.
Now, with five children and a 50th birthday surprise, a daughter, now a young teenager, I've told countless imaginative bedtime stories based on their prompts.
Reflecting on my time with the gypsy family, I've realised the profound impact of storytelling on people, contemplating the possibility of chronicling that journey someday.
During my 30s and 40s, I occasionally returned to the stage for charity events, fueled by my love of storytelling. My daughter encouraged me to channel that passion into writing, which led to the creation of my first series, *Bella*, named after my daughter, under the pen name Barrel Coops. Remarkably, I wrote the five-book series in just five months, though editing took an additional four months, largely due to my challenges with reading. After receiving extensive feedback and taking several courses, the series was rewritten and published in early 2024.
Despite dyslexia being a constant challenge, I'm committed to writing. I hope my stories will captivate and inspire you, bringing enjoyment to your life.
