You can’t stay dead forever...
A group of high school students gather on the Isle of Skye's remote Coral Beach for a party to celebrate the passing of their finals. Their future beckons, promising new hope and a fresh wind of optimism.
In the coming days, many will leave the island for work or to study on the mainland, whereas others will remain on Skye and forge a more traditional path much as their families have done for centuries before them. That is, all but one...
DI Duncan McAdam is dispatched home to the Misty Isle. A body has been found buried in a remote location on the Waternish peninsula. A teenage runaway is dead, and no one is talking...
Set amidst the dramatic landscape of the Isle of Skye, this addictive and fast-paced crime novel takes you into the heart of a rural community, where everyone is hiding secrets.
