About the author
Eric R. Davidson
14 booksI have been self-publishing since 2014. The Jake Fraser series is a police procedural set in Aberdeen in the early part of the 20th century.
The MILO series is set in the world of Military Intelligence in the 1970s.
If you prefer a stand alone read then I offer you One Less For Dinner and The Little Boy Who Didn't Like Corned Beef, which is set in 1964 as Aberdeen was in the grip of a typhoid epidemic.

Lovely story in its simplicity and set in my home town. Having met the author I was intrigued to read and have not been disappointed in the trilogy. Lovely recognising all the addresses and places.
