Escape to the Isle of Skye in this unputdownable murder mystery from the multi-million-copy bestselling author, J M Dalgliesh. The fourth book in the Misty Isle series.

What doesn’t kill you only makes them try harder...

When the body of a celebrity author is found on Staffin beach, DI Duncan McAdam is left with a mystery to solve.

The victim had recently returned to the island to live out his remaining days, so how did he meet his end alone on the sands at dawn?

The case creates a media storm that puts Duncan in the spotlight. And he soon begins to realise just how many people have been keeping secrets on the island. Secrets that some thought – and many hoped – would never come to light.

Set amidst the dramatic landscape of the Isle of Skye, this addictive and fast-paced crime novel takes you into the heart of a rural community, where everyone is hiding secrets.

‘A phenomenal storyteller’ Simon McCleave
