What you need to know before your trail

Rachel is no stranger to the darkness in the hearts of men. When the body of a young woman is found, tragically killed in her own home, Rachel is devastated to discover she knew the victim. Gillian helped her when she was at her lowest; now Rachel vows to find her friend’s murderer.

When the killer strikes again, frighteningly close to home, Rachel sees a chilling pattern to his victims. As she races to decipher the clues, she unravels a twisted plan years in the making. And when a young girl is taken, Rachel knows it’s reaching its terrible conclusion. As the clock counts down, how far can she push herself to stop this ruthless killer in his tracks?

Travel Guide

Scottish Highlands and Inverness

Inverness is a city in the Scottish Highlands, having been granted city status in 2000 and is now regarded as the capital of the Highlands. This is the main character’s home town and is well evoked – but the scenery of Uist from the first book is stronger but this is very evocative of place.
