Bodies in the Barrels Case

About the Book

Lieb Canavan is a procurator fiscal (coroner) in Scotland. He is married to Rose, whose sister Heather has recently birthed her first child, and Rose has planned to visit her.

Whilst preparing for this first separation, Lieb gets a call to work. Another body has been found in a blue barrel with the distinctive WB insignia on the side. He meets up with Senior Inspector Marcus Campbell, and the case takes on a life of its own, filling in the empty time Rose is away.

For Marcus, the case takes another turn when he is partnered with Senior Inspector Grace Scott, and his many protestations of being a career bachelor crash in around him.

With Marcus and Grace helping close the bodies in the barrels case, Lieb lands another case, one that is far too close to home and one that will earn him the nickname the Iceman.

About the Author

Viktoria King comes from another Perth, the one in Australia, but with a family connection to Scotland. Well bitten by the travel bug, she’s been travelling since 1988, and an opportunity to live and work in Singapore, then the UK, and Canada gave her every chance to travel regularly.

Six years living in England provided her the opportunity to explore and connect to her Scottish homeland, so she felt it right to base her fictional characters there.

Her husband is her travel companion, and their son, James, is the photo on the covers.
