_______
Edinburgh is horrified by a series of bloody killings.
Deaths for which there appears to be neither rhyme nor reason, and which leave the city's police stumped.
DI Tony McLean is focused on the investigation, but his attention is drawn by a chilling cold case:
A young girl, ritualistically murdered.
Her remains hidden for sixty years.
It seems impossible that there could be any connection between the cases, but McLean starts to wonder . . .
Because if it's true, they might be facing an evil beyond anything they ever imagined.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Like the most memorable fictional detectives, Inspector Tony McLean has a rich inner life and a weighty backstory. Natural Causes—the first book in Scottish writer James Oswald’s crackling crime series—grips you from the very first page, sprinting into the tale of two separate and gruesome murders and never losing steam. Alongside the spine-tingling investigation, Oswald pulls you into his hero’s personal and professional complications.

Brilliant! Another writer to get to know and appreciate like I already do with several others from Scotland, Ireland and England. This author catches your attention and has a way of writing which is a true enjoyment, the prosa style is as good as McDermid, McBride. I felt at home reading this and already bought no. 2, The book of souls. Thank you Mr James Oswald. Greetings from Norway
