Culhwch Alpha by G R Jordan

A routine call to muster on a North Sea oil rig. One man short and a body found hanging in the canteen. High above the raging sea, can Macleod and McGrath uncover the underbelly of fear to reveal a brutal killer?

Six months into production and the death of a well-liked colleague rips apart the community on Scotland's newest oil rig. But beneath the camaraderie and sense of loss, broods a sense of fear and control. As a killer extends their sights to multiple targets, can Macleod stop the murders before the shift completes its final day.

When the sea becomes your cage there's nowhere left to hide

GR Jordan is a self-published author who, at the age of forty, determined that in order to live a happy life, he needed to unleash his creative beast. His stories reflect the battle in life when integrity clashes with self-promotion, goodwill flinches at evil, and love catches us off guard when we're at our worst. He underlines everyday tensions with fresh views while taking his methodical, intelligent stalwarts on a roller-coaster journey of challenges, all the while suffering the banter of their provocative sidekicks, corrupting our world with his parade of wondrous and horrifying characters. Gary had worked at modifying the shape of cereal flakes and pushed a pallet truck for a career after graduating from Loughborough University, where he pretended to be a chemical engineer but ultimately played American football. Another highlight of his employment was watching vegetables freeze at -40°C, and he was also one of the Scottish Highlands' blind air traffic controllers.

He's progressed to answering the phone for folks in distress before dialing other numbers to help them. He has lived in most parts of the United Kingdom, but now resides on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, where he divides his time between raising a young family with his wife, writing, learning to weave, and caring for a small flock of hens. Fortunately, his writing is affected by his diverse profession and life experiences, because the hens have not provided him with the poetical inspiration he had hoped for!
