The Patrick de Courvoisier Mystery series by Lin Anderson features a French investigator drawn into cases in the Scottish Highlands. The Case of the Black Pearl (2014) and The Case of the Missing Madonna (2016) are the two entries, both shorter and lighter in tone than Anderson’s Rhona MacLeod novels.
The series offers a different angle on Anderson’s Scottish settings, seen through the eyes of a French outsider. The Highland locations connect it to her broader body of work, but the mysteries are more compact and self-contained.
