An Island's Deadly Secret
When an unidentified man is found dead on a ferry to Oban, seemingly from natural causes, DI Angus Blue suspects something far more sinister. With no ID and no belongings on the body, everything points to a meticulously planned crime.
As Blue navigates a perplexing investigation, an unexpected breakthrough comes from his partner: forensic archaeologist Alison Hendrickx recognizes the victim, an eccentric archaeologist rumoured to have been living off-grid on the Isle of Mull.
Was his death a random act of violence, or does a forgotten past hold the key to a deadly secret buried deep within the Scottish islands?
Olga Wojtas - "Another gripping thriller from Allan Martin, entwining Mull's ancient past with a chilling modern investigation."
