The Story

At the stroke of midnight on Hogmanay a woman named Alison Reid admits a visitor to her home — only to be found dead soon after. The death cannot immediately be ruled a murder, but when a pathologist identifies a second body — a young woman discovered in the Kinness Burn — sharing disturbing similarities with the first case, DI Clare Mackay is forced to act fast.

As the investigation unfolds, Clare and her team must dig into the lives of both victims and the connections that bind them. A web of secrets, lies and hidden histories emerges. With each clue more troubling than the last, Clare realises the stakes are higher than she ever imagined — and that no one in St Andrews is necessarily safe.
