An Evening with Scottish Crime Author Alex Gray

Celebrating Blood on Old Stones — A DSI William Lorimer Novel

Join us for a special evening with Sunday Times bestselling crime writer Alex Gray as we celebrate the release of her latest Detective William Lorimer novel, Blood on Old Stones.

Alex Gray returns with the 23rd instalment in her acclaimed DSI William Lorimer series, a gripping new investigation set against the dramatic landscape of the Isle of Mull.

About the Book:

DSI William Lorimer never expected that his next visit to the Isle of Mull, a place he and his wife Maggie have long loved, would be for the funeral of an old friend.

Mary Grant’s sudden heart attack shocks the island’s close-knit community. At first there is no reason to suspect foul play, until one of Mary’s closest friends approaches Lorimer, convinced something isn’t right. When she too dies in a sudden accident, Lorimer finds himself investigating a chilling double murder.

Mull may be known for its spectacular beauty and characterful towns, but Lorimer knows that even here old secrets can resurface, resentments can run deep, and evil can lurk undetected.

Praise for Blood on Old Stones:

“Immensely exciting and atmospheric.” — Alexander McCall Smith

“Convincing Glaswegian atmosphere and superior writing.” — The Times
“Move over Rebus.” — Daily Mail
