This is a Detective Rebus whodunit by Sir Ian Rankin. You can tell the time it was written (around 2000) by the state of the technology used in the book, eg phones not having their own connection to the internet but needing to be attached to a computer, etc. The first Rebus TV show started the same year (2000) and SBS are now running a rebooted version with a younger Rebus (2024). I assume "The Falls" gets a mention somewhere in there. There are true elements to this story such as the small coffins with doll like figures, found on Arthur's Seat in 1836. It's clever how the true elements are wound into a made up yarn.
