DC Simon Serrailler's devastating last case was nearly the death of him.

Recovering on a remote Scottish island, his peace doesn't last long. When a woman's body is washed ashore, Simon is pulled in to a murder inquiry by the overstretched local police who are desperate for help.

But it's when Simon returns to Lafferton and a cold case is reopened that things start to get dangerous...
