Trial and Error – John Carson

The eighth DI Miller story and my second as editor.  I know I’m going to enjoy working with this talented author.

Years ago, DI Frank Miller caught a notorious serial killer and put him away for life. This man taunts Miller from the psychiatric hospital where he’s incarcerated. He tells Miller he’ll see him soon.

Now he’s escaped and he wants Miller to play a game to find a victim they didn’t know about. Senior officers know the killer had help in escaping, and as an investigation is launched, suspicion falls on Miller. He’s then suspended from duty.

Under the Knife – John Carson

My first time working with this author on his DI Miller series, set in Edinburgh, and yet the ‘first’ in the series by virtue of being a prequel.  What a great place for me to start!

“For Frank Miller, his first month in CID is a baptism of fire.

In this prequel, Miller is attending a crime scene where a woman has been found murdered at a local tourist spot. She’s been operated on and vital organs removed before being crudely sewn back up again. At her postmortem, they find her ID inside her.

As Miller’s girlfriend, Carol, is promoted to CID, they are both thrown in at the deep end. While they’re being mentored by an experienced detective, they look for a killer who the press has dubbed The Surgeon, and they’re also looking for a peeping Tom. So far, he’s only been reported looking through windows, but he goes one step further and kills a young woman in her own home.

As The Surgeon’s second victim is found, Miller and his colleagues know he’s getting more confident with his killing.”
