A body is hauled out of St Andrews harbour. The cause of death – a blow to the back of the head.

DI Clare Mackay and her team are immediately suspicious. This was no accident. Local Dennis Gibb was murdered.

Meanwhile a string of burglaries across town divide Clare’s attention and she is drawn into a world of property developers, holiday lets and protestors determined to put a stop to the new building works.

When another person linked to Dennis is murdered, the investigation becomes even more urgent and Clare is led down a winding path to local secrets, hidden animosity and dodgy business deals…

The next gripping instalment in the bestselling series from the Queen of Tartan Noir and former Bloody Scotland Scottish Crime Debut of the Year nominee Marion Todd. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Neil Lancaster and Val McDermid.
