The series includes Queen Macbeth by Val McDermid, Rizzio by Denise Mina and Hex by Jenni Fagan.

A brooding atmospheric tale of murder and conspiracy, set on the Hebridean island of Benbecula.

Graeme Macrae Burnet's novel, His Bloody Project, was shortlisted for the Man Booker prize and sold more than 160,000 copies through UK Bookscan

Benbecula
On the 9th of July 1857, a twenty-five-year-old labourer named Angus MacPhee bludgeoned to death his parents and aunt in the crofting community on the remote Hebridean island of Benbecula.

Five years later, Angus's older brother Malcolm recounts the events leading up to the murders while trying to keep a grip on his own sanity. Malcolm is ostracised by the community and haunted by this gruesome episode in his past, but is he as innocent as he seems?

From Graeme Macrae Burnet, the Booker-shortlisted author of His Bloody Project, comes a tale of darkness, violence and madness, leavened by moments of black humour and absurdity.
