A city at peace in a world at war. ‘The Stockholm Run’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland and Sweden during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

Stockholm Central Station plays a pivotal role as the story moves towards its climax. This modern image shows a mural in the station formed from a large photograph of it in 1943, at the time it is visited by the two central characters.

Stockholm Central Station. The image shows a curving segmented wall that comes in from the right of the frame and extends away from us near the left side. The wall carries a very large black and white photograph of the interior of the station in 1943, with ticket offices on the right and doors to the outside in the background and people, mainly wearing hats. The front cover of 'The Stockholm Run' is shown in the bottom left corner.

You can’t ask a dead man who pulled the trigger. ‘A Tangled Web’ is a fast-paced contemporary thriller set in northern Scotland.

The beach at Oldshoremore in Sutherland is one of the most magnificent beaches anywhere. It is close to the home of one of the central characters and serves as a backdrop to the story as it develops. The beach also appears on the cover of the book.

The scene is in sunlight. The front cover of ‘A Tangled Web’ is shown in the bottom right corner.
