No Cure For Regret
A missing baby. A desperate woman on the run. A truth nobody wants uncovered.
A newborn is taken from a locked house in Edinburgh. No ransom. No witnesses. Just an empty cot and parents with power to burn.
DI Sam Winter is called into the abduction of nine-week-old Kai Drummond, taken while his wealthy parents were out celebrating the launch of their high-profile charity foundation. The family want results fast, the press want blood and the politicians circling the Drummonds want the story buried.
The abductor is already moving, changing her appearance, gambling everything on a plan she can’t afford to get wrong. Because the truth nobody wants to say out loud is the most dangerous one.
As Winter races the clock across Scotland, the case cracks open old grief, addiction and a family history built on money and secrets. And with every mile Kai is taken further from home, the chances of bringing him back alive get thinner.
No Cure for Regret is a propulsive Scottish crime thriller packed with tension, dark humour, and razor-edged emotion, and is the first book in the DI Sam Winter series: sharp, darkly funny Scottish crime thrillers set in Edinburgh and wider Scotland.
