The Haunted Highlands Series

The McTavish Chronicles

Some places refuse to forget.

Haunted manors. Storm-swept islands. Ancient estates where the dead have not yet finished speaking.

Author Coby McTavish never goes looking for mysteries.

Somehow, they always find him.

Across five novels set against the brooding landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, The Haunted Highlands Series follows Coby as he uncovers long-buried secrets, investigates impossible events, and finds himself drawn into mysteries that blur the line between the living and the dead.

Each investigation begins with a simple question.

Each answer reveals something far darker.

Filled with gothic atmosphere, dark humour, family drama, unforgettable characters, and supernatural intrigue, these stories combine haunting settings with the irresistible pull of a mystery waiting to be solved.

Each novel stands alone.

Together, they tell the larger story of a stubborn sleuth, a family haunted by its past, and the restless dead who refuse to stay silent.
