About this Event

Join bestselling crime author and Scottish national treasure, Lin Anderson, as we welcome her back to the shop on Wednesday 5th August, at 7pm, to celebrate the publication of her heart-racing, gripping offshoot of the acclaimed Rhona MacLeod series, .

When everyone knows your name, every case is personal...

On the rugged Isle of Hoy, a w ealthy couple’s dream of building a stunning eco-home becomes a w aking nightmare w hen the peat yields a grisly secret: the remains of a young mother and her baby. For DI Erling Flett, the discovery is a personal haunting. He spent years running from Orkney, only to be pulled back to the islands he once fled. As he fights to identify the nameless dead, the community pushes back – and his ow n troubled history begins to surface. At the heart of the mystery lies a lethal family feud over blood-soaked soil. Can Flett finally face the ghosts of his past? Or w ill the island claim its next victim before the truth is told?
