THE UNIFORM
THE UNIFORM is book 1 in this crime thriller series set in 1970s Edinburgh.
She's out of uniform but she's still in the line of fire.
Helen Carter has just landed her first case as a detective: a murder in an abandoned cinema. A mysterious clock-like symbol is drawn on the wall... in blood.
Stranger still is what the killer left behind: the business card of an ex-cop.
Since being promoted from WPC, Helen is having trouble making her mark in the male-dominated Edinburgh CID, working under Inspector Jack Craven. He's not happy about having a woman on his team. Witnesses won't talk to her, her colleagues don't take her seriously.
And now a body turns up in a sweet shop with a pocket watch shoved in his mouth.
The clock is ticking to stop a serial killer.
MEET THE DETECTIVE
Detective Sergeant Helen Carter is used to getting a rough time of it at work. As one of the few women officers around, she has heard it all before: she's only there as a box-ticking exercise, or she only got the job because of her father, who was a detective inspector. But she can handle it. She knows she can hold her own against any man on the force. The only thing she can't handle, however, are the constant fights with her fiancé, Ted.
THE SETTING
Edinburgh CID in the 1970s is on the third-floor of the ugly, modern concrete lump that is the police station. On a sunny day, you can look right out to Arthur's Seat. And on any day, you can see spotty-faced, bored teenagers coming and going from the local high school across the road. With its historic cobbled streets and fair share of deprivation, Edinburgh police are up against every type of criminal imaginable.
Jodie Lawrance graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2018 with an MA in Creative Writing. When not writing, she is also an actress and has appeared in a variety of television, stage and film. She's also a contributor for BBC The Social.
