The Author

Mik McLean

Mik McLean writes crime fiction set in Edinburgh — a city of two faces. Behind the polished Georgian facades, the festival stages, and the private gardens, the city keeps its violence close and its secrets closer.

The Nora Calder series follows a detective who knows both sides of Edinburgh intimately. Born in Craigmillar, she navigates old money and new ambition, dockside silence and Festival noise — taking the cases no one else can close.
