Published

‘Engrossing . . . an intelligent nailbiter.’ Publishers Weekly

Four years ago, little Johnny Clearwater set off on his brand-new bike. An angelic blond toddler riding a twisty path down to the sparkling North Sea. That’s the last anyone ever saw of him.

Now, Johnny’s vanishing still haunts Detectives Anderson and Costello. They scoured every inch of the sleepy fishing village of Cellardyke to find him. But they can’t help wondering what they missed.

Someone somewhere knows more about Johnny’s disappearance than they’re willing to say . . .

A secret like that can’t stay unspoken forever.

Miles away, in an exclusive Glasgow housing complex, a woman is found lying on the immaculate lawns. Jerking, choking, gasping for breath. By the time Anderson and Costello reach her, it’s too late.

She’s dressed as a police officer. But Anderson and Costello don’t recognise her as one of their own. And that’s not the half of it.

The results of the woman’s post-mortem hit them like a bolt from the blue. Her face is smeared with someone else’s DNA. DNA that has no business being there at all.

Johnny Clearwater’s DNA.

AN ELECTRIFYING SCOTTISH THRILLER WITH A HEART-STOPPING FINALE.

Fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Peter May, J.M. Dalgliesh, J.D. Kirk, Daniel Sellers and Ann Cleeves will devour these tense and darkly atmospheric Scottish mysteries.
