Some bodies just won’t stay buried…
After putting a stop to one of Edinburgh’s most notorious serial killers 3 years ago, DCI Liam Brodie is known as a man who can handle – and solve – the hardest of cases.
But when he’s assigned to Fife’s Major Investigations Team, he soon realises that he’s walking into a minefield.
The previous DCI is missing, presumed dead, and the case he’s been called in to lead becomes dangerously close to home.
When a child’s bones are unearthed beneath the floorboards of an old house in Fife – the same house where his girlfriend, psychologist Ruth Campbell, grew up as a foster daughter – Brodie uncovers a tangled web of lies and jealousy.
Ruth’s foster mother, now gripped by dementia, holds fragments of the truth but in a community haunted by its history, Brodie must navigate betrayal and buried guilt to bring a decades-old secret to light.
But at what cost to those he loves most? ??
