If the dead could speak, what secrets would they tell?

As Shona finds herself pulled between crimes past and present, she soon realises that the secrets buried on Beild Moss are reaching into the present day.
But when even her own officers are keeping things from her, who can she trust? Especially when more lives may be at stake…
