Publisher's Summary

A gripping and atmospheric debut crime thriller set on an isolated Scottish island ... where outsiders are not welcome.

"There's always someone whispering about something."

On a small island off the coast of Scotland, an isolated community is grieving. Eighteen-year-old Alan Ferguson was found at the foot of the lighthouse—an apparent suicide.

DIs Georgina Lennox and Richard Stewart are sent to investigate. A raging storm keeps them trapped on the island for four days. And the locals don't take kindly to mainlanders.

As George and Ritchie question the island's inhabitants, they discover a village filled with superstition and shrouded in secrets.

But someone wants those secrets to stay buried. At any cost.

'Absorbing, unsettling, and deeply accomplished' Dervla McTiernan

'Smart, deliciously creepy and simply pitch-perfect - I tore this through this spectacular debut!' Hayley Scrivenor

'An exciting new voice in crime fiction' Pip Drysdale

'Cold Atlantic noir. An eerie debut.' Matthew Spencer, author of Black River
