  Number one bestseller and queen of crime Val McDermid returns with her most breathtakingly atmospheric and exhilarating novel yet
  
  'Somebody has been here before us. And he's still here . . .'

  When a body is discovered in the remote depths of the Highlands, DCI Karen Pirie finds herself in the right place at the right time. Unearthed with someone's long-buried inheritance, the victim seems to belong to the distant past - until new evidence suggests otherwise, and Karen is called in to unravel a case where nothing is as it seems.

  It's not long before an overheard conversation draws Karen into the heart of a different case, however - a shocking crime she thought she'd already prevented. As she inches closer to the twisted truths at the centre of these murders, it becomes clear that she's dealing with a version of justice terrifyingly different to her own . . .

  'Another stellar read from McDermid, and further evidence that her Queen of Crime status will not be challenged' Scotsman
  
  'There is nothing more gratifying than watching a master craftswoman at work, and she is on fine form here' Observer
  
  'A compulsively readable tale' Irish Times
