Lin Anderson at the Inverness Book Festival
Venue: The Royal Highland Hotel

CSI fans will be in their element at this event. Lin’s creation, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod, is rapidly rising up the ranks of crime fiction and is one of Ian Rankin’s personal favourites.
In the latest case, Dark Flight, a six year-old boy has vanished, his mother and grandmother horrifically murdered. At the scene, MacLeod finds a talisman made from the bones of a child…
Greenock-born Anderson's work is sharper than a pathologist's scalpel.

Chariman: John Feetenby, Waterstone's, Inverness
