"I should have gouged his eyes out, made them bleed, and let him die with empty, dry sockets. Just setting the place on fire while he slept may not have been enough to satisfy my craving to kill him." The landscape of emotional and explosive events from the first volume of Lemons on a Plate (an alter-ego speaks) changes dramatically as the seeds of revenge grow. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN FENCEPOSTS (the second volume in the Lemons on a Plate series) continues the story of the poverty-stricken vagabond and renowned writer and professor Barron Desulfer and the ex military officer Ken. Engrossed by vengeance and unexplained powerlessness, an old book is added to the storyline and a dramatic shift occurs. This volume will bring the unanswered concerns of the first one into light and continue challenging the reader with emotional and thrilling suspense.

A cold case in the city of the dead. D.I. Lomond is a devoted family man. A good detective. When the body of a young woman involved in the worlds of art and adult streaming is found in the River Clyde, Lomond believes there may be echoes of a cold case from the start of his career: an unsolved death on a rural Scottish estate in the 1990s. Then, a Swedish feminist activist, who also has a connection to Lomond’s past, arrives in the city to protest against the failure of the police to find the killer. The victims all seem to be drawn from the world of art and business. Is the cold case the answer, or just part of the key, and could the killer be about to get dangerously close to Lomond and his family?

Home can be the most dangerous place. They had cameras, alarms, lights, even guard dogs. They had storm doors and locks on their windows. They knew martial arts, they had knives to hand, and one of them even had a gun. And he still got in . . . A terrifying killer is haunting Glasgow’s affluent suburbs – invading homes and smothering people left on their own. The tabloids have a name for the murderer based on his method of folding the bodies into tiny spaces, as well as his uncanny knack of seemingly springing out of nowhere: Jack-in-the-Box. Inspector Lomond has an impossible case to crack. The houses involved have state-of-the-art security systems and were all securely locked at the time of death. There is no evidence of forced entry, and video footage shows no sign of any intruders. How is he getting in? How is he getting out? And who will be next?
