About the Book

Leo Moran is not your average private detective. An avowed gourmet and wine connoisseur, he enjoys the pleasures of life to the hilt in the splendid isolation of his West End apartment. Ordinarily, his most pressing concerns involve which vintage of wine to pair with the finest organic steak, but at times he has more unsettling concerns: visions of violent crimes.  After the ritualistic murder of a young woman in rural Argyll Leo decides to help the police. He arrives at a brooding, majestic landscape in the grip of winter and meets a host of strange and colourful characters who congregate in and around the Loch Dhonn Hotel – including the ghost of the victim.  Frustrated by forces of evil summoned up the killer, at first Leo fails to make headway, and his intemperance wears thin the patience of his allies and the police. Cast out and close to despair, Leo must draw on all his powers to unmask the murderer before he himself becomes the next victim.

Review :
'McGarry explores evil, faith and human nature by telling a gripping murder mystery concerned with gender politics, class and misogyny. This debut novel features richly drawn characters and a potent atmosphere of dread, marking McGarry out as one to watch'  'Leo Moran is a Glaswegian private eye who is unlike any you'll have met before, which is in itself a reason for cheer. Charles E. McGarry has presented a new voice to Scottish crime fiction, and a memorable character to match'  'A hugely enjoyable murder mystery with a sprinkling of the supernatural, The Ghost of Helen Addison is Tartan Noir with a difference' '5 Stars – If you enjoy a mystery with a spectral twist, this is the tale for you' 'Charles McGarry has opted for the road less travelled. His central character, Leo Moran, is a private detective with a passion for fine food and wine … I enjoyed meeting him after a slew of novels featuring jaded cops and hard-bitten private investigators'
