Dark Side (2013)
“Carrick, with his assistant Lynn Outhwaite hurrying just behind him, was descending the stairs from the top floor. As we approached a third person caught up with them, the new Detective Inspector, David Campbell, whom we had not previously met. After quite a long time without one a new DI had finally been appointed to Bath CID and it was his second week in the job. He had come from HQ in Portishead and everyone had assumed that another Scot would meld very nicely with the boss. Everyone, that i...s, except Derek Woods, the custody sergeant who, having read the history books, had warned darkly against making such presumptions. For the MacDonalds still hated the Campbells after the massacre of Glencoe, didn’t they? Perhaps others did, too.
We had already gathered that Carrick, who had undertaken to mentor Campbell for a couple of weeks to show him, in his words, ‘how Bath ticked’, was not particularly impressed. Apparently this was nothing to do with anyone being put to the sword but merely an apparent lingering prejudice on Campbell’s part that everything in England was vastly inferior to the land of his birth.MoreLess
