The Glass

A daring, military-style armed robbery in the centre of Scotland’s capital city. A risk they will strike again, with deadly consequences. Will McLeod’s team catch the villains before they strike again?

DCI Suzanna McLeod is a fighting fit and highly intelligent detective with brilliant analytical talents, who’s been favourably compared to Sherlock Holmes. Her Edinburgh-based team is legendary for being the UK’s best, so she has a reputation to live up to and a team to lead.

Suzanna’s under pressure to catch the armed robbers before their success tempts them to more ambitious and dangerous missions. But she has to juggle two investigations when her magnifying glass is stolen. The Glass is a cherished heirloom entrusted to her care by her late great-great-uncle. She’s determined to recover the symbol of her success in the test he had set. A test that led to her joining the police and becoming a detective. But her first duty has to be to the people of Edinburgh.

As the chase heads towards its conclusion, Suzanna single-handedly tackles the most dangerous of the criminals, using her well-practised judo skills. But as the case draws to a close, something is nagging at Suzanna’s gut. What could they have missed? Was there someone else in the mix? Only at the very end do we find out.

The Glass is the first book in the DCI Suzanna McLeod crime-fighting series. If you like fast-moving police investigations, engaging characters, action, and twists along the way, you’ll love Harry Navinski’s new crime novel.
