A forgotten gay teen. A city haunted by decades of silence. And the truth no one wanted unearthed. When a hidden Cold War bunker on the outskirts of Edinburgh reveals human remains, Dr. Charlie Morrow, forensic psychiatrist and psychic, is asked to consult-unofficially. The case appears simple: a long-cold suicide. But the forensic evidence tells a different story. The victim, Robbie Sinclair, was just sixteen when he disappeared in 1993-a foster child, a quiet boy rumored to be "different" in a city still learning what tolerance meant.

A forgotten gay teen. A city haunted by decades of silence. And the truth no one wanted unearthed. When a hidden Cold War bunker on the outskirts of Edinburgh reveals human remains, Dr. Charlie Morrow, forensic psychiatrist and psychic, is asked to consult-unofficially. The case appears simple: a long-cold suicide. But the forensic evidence tells a different story. The victim, Robbie Sinclair, was just sixteen when he disappeared in 1993-a foster child, a quiet boy rumored to be "different" in a city still learning what tolerance meant. As Charlie and DCI Hamish Fraser, Police Scotland, uncover the chain of events that ended in that bunker, they step into the echo chamber of an era when masculinity was performance and cruelty passed for courage. Old friends close ranks. Witnesses choke on half-truths. And one officer with a secret begins to unravel under the weight of what fear made him do. From the rain-slick closes of Edinburgh to its forgotten bunkers and archives, Staged Exit traces the anatomy of a cover-up thirty years in the making-and the price of finally telling the truth. For Charlie, the case is more than professional. It's a reckoning with the ghosts that police culture and society buried together: silence, shame, and the fragile line between justice and survival. Perfect for fans of Tana French, Ann Cleeves, and Susie Steiner, Staged Exit is set in the midst of Scotland's fight for LGBTQ+ recognition. It is a haunting, morally charged crime novel that exposes the quiet violence beneath civility-and the courage it takes to break the performance. Staged Exit is the latest in The Cold Bones Chronicles series, which follows reluctant profiler Dr. Charlie Morrow through cases that test the boundary between psychic memory and forensic evidence, ethics, and obsession. Each book stands alone but builds upon Charlie's evolving reckoning with the dead-and the living who too often failed them.
