The body of a murdered woman is found washed up on Cramond Island near the mouth of the River Forth. Days later detectives are called to a flat in Edinburgh; the kitchen is covered in blood, and the occupier is missing.

When the name of the woman from Cramond Island is revealed, it stirs unwelcome memories for those who knew her, Chief Constable Bob Skinner most of all.

Yet he does, unwittingly setting in motion a course that leads him to the toughest choice of his life, putting him in the midst of a personal nightmare, both life threatening and career changing

Travel Guide

Edinburgh to Glasgow

This is the novel where Bob Skinner has made the move from his city of Edinburgh to Glasgow. And the move is not going easy

Gullane

The village close to Edinburgh which seems to act as a buffer for Bob – half way between his old life and the new one
