En savoir plus sur le livre

Forensic expert Dr. David Hunter finds himself on a remote Scottish island, drawn into a chilling murder investigation after examining a set of human remains. Instead of being in London with the woman he loves, he is called to the Outer Hebrides to assist a beleaguered local cop. What he discovers is shocking: a woman's charred remains, burned beyond recognition in an unoccupied cottage. While local authorities lean towards an accidental death, Hunter’s analysis of the victim's skull reveals a sinister truth—she was murdered by someone from the island. As he delves deeper, the situation escalates when two more people die in fires. Hunter's expertise lies in coaxing the dead to share their stories, and as he begins to hear them, he uncovers a web of secrets within the tight-knit community of Runa. The investigation reveals the hidden resentments of a wealthy couple, the bitterness of an ex-cop, and the struggles of a lonely single mother. As Hunter peels back the layers of deception, the narrative unfolds into a tale of rage and perversion, culminating in a series of violent acts and shocking revelations.
