Book Synopsis

Some secrets are best left buried . . .

Knee-deep in the mud of an ancient burial ground, a winter storm raging around him, and at least one person intent on his death: how did Murray Watson end up here?



Trade Review
Masterful...It is the most rounded of Welsh's books to date, fulfilling the huge promise of her earlier work, combining a whip-cracking plot with a literary touch that lifts her way above her genre colleagues...so much more than another literary mystery. * * The Times * *
Welsh is adept at keeping you reading till the end. * * Daily Mail * *
If you love curling up with an atmospheric thriller, this is the novel for you... Spellbinding! * * Grazia * *
Welsh creates a vivid sense of place... She paces revelations with care and keeps you hooked till the end. * * Metro * *
Saturated with dark imagery... enjoyable and exciting. * * TLS * *
Welsh is one of the sharpest and most entertaining current Scottish writers, and her style, intelligence and wit, combined with a rather gothic texture, make her books extremely readable. * * Times Higher Education Supplement * *
A tale of literature, obsession and dark magic. * * Scots Magazine * *
