The High Road by Ken Lussey (15 September 2023).
A fast-paced thriller set mainly in central Scotland and the far north-west. Callum Anderson is in Scotland to scatter
his father’s ashes when he’s asked by a cousin to look for her missing sister, Alexandra. With his life in London in tatters
and suspended from duty by the Metropolitan Police, why not? It soon becomes clear that Alex is on the run from someone who sees
Callum as a means of finding her and adding to a trail of bodies across two countries. Can Callum find Alex before his
own hunter finds him?
