What you need to know before your trail

As a prosecutor in the Scottish Highlands, Rachel is no stranger to death. But when a body is found in a local cemetery, she’s confronted by a case that hits far too close to home. The victim is connected to an investigation Rachel’s mother was involved in before her own mysterious disappearance years ago. And Rachel is seized by hope that she might finally discover the truth.

Desperate for more clues, Rachel enlists the help of determined detective constable Selena MacDonald, but soon the trail runs cold. Guided by instinct, and a fierce refusal to drop the case, Rachel combs back through the original files until she finds a name, and a link to a remote Scottish island.

But raking up the past brings danger to her door, and when Rachel’s home is ransacked, and her neighbour attacked, she realises that this case could destroy everything she’s worked for. Now Rachel faces an impossible choice: give up her hunt, or keep searching for the truth, and risk not only her own life, but those closest to her…
