Scarrett & Kramer Series by Neil Carstairs

Ben Scarrett spends his days drinking coffee and writing analyses of the phenomena known as 'The Appearances'. That is until his reports cross the desk of a clandestine military agency fighting an undeclared war against an unknown enemy. Pulled from behind his desk, and partnered with Joanne Kramer, Ben finds himself in a desperate race to save the life of ten-year-old Emily DeForrest. A girl who may just be the key to keeping the Gates of Hell locked.

Ben Scarrett’s first impressions of Scotland aren’t all that good. The bad weather is one thing, but talking to a trawlerman who’s been dead for six months and is possessed by a Norse god makes Ben want to get back to his partner Joanne Kramer as soon as he can.But England’s got its own share of oddities; like the undead roaming country houses, giant trolls eating horses and the bewitchingly beautiful Moira - a woman who can walk through walls... moreBen Scarrett’s first impressions of Scotland aren’t all that good.
