Perfect for fans of L J Ross and Val McDermid. ‘A that kept me reading ’ Graham Smith, bestselling author of Four friends with dark secrets. One killer out for revenge. DI Frank Farrell and DS McLeod are tasked with investigating the brutal murder of a defence solicitor’s wife in Dumfries.

When the son of another defence solicitor is murdered, a strange tattoo etched on his body, the case takes them into darker, more disturbing territory. It leads them back into the past – to a horrific fire in a cottage that took a woman’s life, to four friends harbouring dark secrets – and finally to a killer waiting patiently for revenge. ‘, I was completely engrossed in the investigation and the lives of the characters, there were twists and turns all the way through keeping me on the … definitely a “just one more chapter” kind of read!’ Sharon Bairden, Chapter in My Life ‘ in parts whilst in others, this book had me turning the pages well into the night’ Alison, NetGalley ‘This was another into the world of DI Frank Farrell!
