Dawn with Daftie. This looks like frost. How I wish it was! Just mist lying across the fields before the rising sun burns it off. The heatwave continues 😢

With one of the biggest sales jumps of the week, THE BLACK LOCH, has leapt up to Nº3 in the Sunday Times paperback bestsellers list, and Nº4 in the Total Consumer Market. A huge thank you to all my loyal readers!

My latest thriller, The Black Loch, publishes today in paperback - I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

You can get a copy from your local bookshop or online: www.waterstones.com/book/the-bla...

When The Chessmen published in 2013, I was ready to leave Finn Macleod and the Isle of Lewis behind. But The Black Loch demanded to be written, and so The Lewis Trilogy became The Lewis Thrillers.

The Black Lock, the 4th instalment in The Lewis Thrillers, will be published in paperback on July 17.

Dawn without Daftie. I‘m at Saint Malo this weekend for the international book festival, Etonnants Voyageurs, and sadly had to leave the wee man at home.

My dad (left) and his best friend, immediately pre war. Unbeknownst to either of them, each was later sent to serve in India, and in an extraordinary coincidence met by chance in a hotel restaurant in Bombay.
