Formerly one of Scotland's top forensic scientists, fifty-ish Enzo Macleod—half-Scottish, half-Italian—now lives in France and teaches at the university in Toulouse, in this intriguing series from much-lauded novelist and television dramatist Peter May, creator of the Lewis trilogy. Having wagered he could crack a series of famously unsolved murders, Enzo finds that a lifetime spent in the lab hardly equips him for dealing with the real-world dangers he encounters.
