These are two very different characters who collide in the course of a set of gruesome murders both with a vested interest in finding out what happened. This book follows two lead characters: Monica Kennedy, a Detective Inspector juggling the pressures of a demanding job and raising a young daughter on her own, and Micheal Bach, a social worker struggling with his own inner demons whilst at the same time trying to help young adults work their way through life. The fact that everything is so remote creates that eeriness that people can disappear and potentially never be found. There is definitely something about the vast expanse of the Highlands in Scotland that makes it quite possibly the perfect setting for crimes like the ones featured in this book. ‘Keeps the reader guessing…You are sure to be surprised!’
