Phosphate Rocks by Fiona Erskine

As the old chemical works in Leith are demolished a long deceased body encrusted in phosphate rock is discovered. Seated at a card table he has ten objects laid out in front of him. Whose body is it? How did he die and what is the significance of the objects?

A professional engineer with forty years of international manufacturing experience, Fiona’s first job after graduating from Cambridge University, was in the factory described in Phosphate Rocks. As a female engineer, she is often the lone female representative in board meetings, cargo ships, night-time factories and offshore oil rigs. Her first novel, The Chemical Detective, was published by Oneworld and shortlisted for the Specsavers Debut Crime Novel Award 2020.
