Frank Temple

 

The Frank Temple Cozy Mystery Investigations Series

Frank Temple thought his days of chasing criminals were behind him. A retired cop turned bestselling crime author, he traded the gritty streets for the quiet clatter of his typewriter in Edinburgh, Scotland. But when a mysterious woman with a dangerous secret bursts into his life, seeking refuge from those who would harm her, Frank’s past and present collide in a way he never expected.

Drawn back into the perilous world of crime, Frank must use his instincts and connections to keep her safe. But protecting her unveils a web of corruption, betrayal, and intrigue that refuses to let either of them go. Together, they face danger head-on and uncover truths others would kill to keep buried.

What starts as a desperate bid for survival becomes the unlikely beginning of a private investigation business. With Frank's sharp mind and her tenacity, they take on Edinburgh’s darkest mysteries—facing crooked politicians, dangerous gangsters, and haunting cold cases, all while navigating a budding partnership filled with tension, trust, and the possibility of something more.

This blends gripping suspense with heart-stopping twists as Frank and his new partner discover that solving crimes isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. And in a city where shadows hide more than secrets, justice is always personal.
