Scott Thornley Books in Order

Detective Superintendent MacNeice investigates a young woman’s carefully arranged body in a summer cottage. A mark identifying her as a violinist recalls his late wife, giving the disturbing murder an intimate resonance as he searches for the killer.

Bodies discovered on a farm and during waterfront dredging burden MacNeice’s team while a killer targets successful young women of colour. Political pressure to protect Dundurn’s redevelopment scheme complicates an investigation involving biker violence and powerful business interests.

A young woman found frozen in Dundurn Bay and a man abandoned on a booby-trapped wagon confront MacNeice with disturbing crimes. The apparently unremarkable victims conceal secrets that place the detective’s life and emotional loyalties in danger.

MacNeice and his team investigate murders arranged to echo classic artworks. Carefully staged bodies and strange theatrical props reveal a sophisticated killer whose visual messages may offer the detectives their best chance of stopping further deaths.

Returning from suspension, MacNeice investigates a wounded runner, a long blood trail, and evidence of killings without bodies. An orchard corpse and a professor's abduction strengthen his suspicion that separate crimes are connected, prompting an urgent effort to intervene.
