Synopsis

DI Clare Mackay is looking for danger in the wrong places.

A body is hauled out of St Andrews harbour. This was no accident – DI Clare Mackay and her team have a murder investigation on their hands.

Superintendent Penny Meakin is more focused on a break in at the salubrious home of local property developers. Many residents of the town oppose their plans for a new housing estate, and Penny insists that this controversy was a motive for the crime. Clare sees no evidence of this, but what is she overlooking?

When another death occurs and links are found to the first victim, the intensity on all sides ramps up. Stretched to the absolute limit, how much strain can Clare’s officers take before something breaks, never to be repaired…

The next gripping instalment in the bestselling series from a star of the Tartan Noir genre and former Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year nominee Marion Todd. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Neil Lancaster and Val McDermid.
