Detective Inspector Fin Macleod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. For Lewis-born Macleod, the case represents a journey both home and into his past.

A SECRET

"This is the first in a trilogy of crime novels set in the Scottish Hebrides. Through the eyes of a Lewis-born detective returning home after living in Edinburgh for years, the reader not only gets evocative descriptions of the wild, windswept island, but also insight into some really interesting island customs. The plot moves from the investigation back to the detective's past so builds slowly but to a tremendous ending."
