About this book
When a grisly murder occurs on the Isle of Lewis with the hallmarks of a killing he's investigating on the mainland, Edinburgh detective and native islander Fin MacLeod is dispatched to see if the two deaths are connected. His return after nearly two decades not only represents a police investigation, but a voyage into his troubled past. Every step in solving the murder takes him closer to a dangerous confrontation with the tragic events that shaped his life.
