Campbell & Hartmann

The thrilling and brilliantly narrated Highland crime series opens a fantastic new chapter in Scottish literature with its unique blend of haunting atmosphere, extraordinary characters, and emotional depth.

When Isabel Hartmann hikes to the idyllic Sandaig beach on Scotland's west coast, the last thing she expects to discover is the dead body of a German tourist. Suddenly, the translator finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. DI Robert Campbell faces a mystery: a tourist shot dead in a remote location and no motive for murder. The picturesque Highland village of Glenelg becomes the centre of the investigation, and Campbell soon discovers that everyone has a secret, and no one is who they claim to be.

The icy solitude of a Highland winter draws Robert and Isabel into a deadly maelstrom of love, passion, and violence. Highland Crime blends the classic detective genre with the challenges of relationships. Distinctive and emotionally complex stories set in the magnificent and awe-inspiring landscape of the Scottish Highlands.

Nellie Merthe Erkenbach lives in the Scottish Highlands and takes her readers on a fictional journey to the places around her: shops, pubs, remote mountain bothys, original locations, there to be explored when visiting Skye and Lochalsh.
