The Case of the Highland Laird (The Sebastian Symes Mysteries),

By G. W. Colkitto

G.W Colkitto’s charming series of Sebastian Symes novellas transports the reader back to the late nineteenth century, a world of gentleman detectives, ingenious thieves, bumbling constables, and cryptic mysteries.

A friend and sometimes rival of two of the best-loved characters in English literature – Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes – the Sebastian Symes stories are a brilliant addition to the canon of British detective fiction.

In ‘The Case of the Highland Laird’, Sebastian Symes and Major Ritson are on a fishing holiday in the Scottish Highlands when they are drawn into a world of myth and mystery.

A landowner is murdered, his body found on a beach with no footprints other than his own.Or was his assailant closer to home?

As he delves into the case, Symes discovers a trail of greed, deception, family loyalties and revenge – which will lead ultimately to the real murderer.

‘The Case of the Highland Laird’ is perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Raffles and historical fiction.
G W Colkitto is an ardent Sherlock Holmes fan and former Bookshop owner, who writes both poetry and prose. He lives in Scotland.

Praise for G W Colkitto:
‘Sherlock Holmes possesses both a friend and rival in Sebastian Symes. Conan Doyle would be pleased. More so, the reader will be.’ – Richard Foreman, best-selling author of ‘Raffles: The Gentleman Thief.’
