The Saviors series is a crime fiction trilogy by Malcolm Mackay, published between 2018 and 2019. After finishing his Glasgow Underworld trilogy, Mackay moved the action from Glasgow’s city streets to a fictional remote community in the Scottish Highlands. The change of setting brings a different atmosphere, with the isolation of a small Highland town replacing the gritty urban backdrop of his earlier work.

The series begins with In the Cage Where Your Saviours Hide and continues with A Line of Forgotten Blood and Saviors. Mackay keeps his trademark sparse prose and dark subject matter, but the rural setting adds a sense of claustrophobia and tension that comes from everyone knowing everyone else. Fans of Scottish crime fiction looking for something outside the usual city-based stories will find these books worth reading.
