When missing turns to murder…

West Uist, Scotland

Local farmer Hector MacFarlane has been found dead, trampled by his own cattle.

A well-liked man in the community, at first there is no suspicion surrounding his death.

But when an urn containing some of his ashes is found broken and defiled, doubt starts to creep in.

And when a man arrives on the island looking for a missing woman, Detective Inspector Torquil McKinnon soon finds himself with more than one mystery to solve.

With thick mist shrouding the remote island in gloom and rumours circulating about the death of the farmer, Torquil finds it increasingly difficult to get answers.

Is there a connection between the dead man and the missing woman? Could anyone else be in danger?

And is the local community once more under threat…?

THE SCATTERING MURDERS is the eighth crime thriller in the detective series featuring Inspector Torquil McKinnon: an action-packed police procedural full of suspense.
