After a stressful winter, DSI William Lorimer is enjoying some time away from Glasgow. He and his new friend, Daniel Kohi, have retreated to the wilds of the Scottish Highlands to unwind. But what awaits them is far from a holiday.

Despite its troubled history, the mountain village of Glencoe is now a popular resort, famed for its close-knit community, its breath-taking scenery and the warm welcome it offers weary travellers. So it's particularly shocking when two bodies are discovered in quick succession on the nearby peaks . . .

With a potential serial killer on the loose, Lorimer's Major Incidents Team are drafted in from Glasgow. It's clear that a dark secret lurks beneath the wild beauty of this place. But will Lorimer manage to root it out before the killer strikes again?

Hmmm… I’m a big fan of this series however as I continue to read I find Lorimer less and less believable :( He is a genuinely kind, caring and fair man, but he has no ruthlessness to him and it jars with his success in the police force.

Goodreads review by Rog on December 19, 2022

I am not sure why I persevere with this series (I have now read all nineteen books) as most of the recent books have been disappointing and Detective Superintendent William Lorimer has never come across to me as more than a cardboard character.
