‘Revisiting Tony McLean is always a good read, but this is absolutely the top of the pile’
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW

The charred remains of an elderly woman are discovered in a burned out gamekeepers cottage, hidden away in woodland to the west of Edinburgh.

What is at first assumed to be a tragic accident begins to take on a more sinister aspect as Detective Inspector Tony McLean digs deeper.

There is far more to the victim than her humble surroundings suggest . . .
