In a place where everyone knows your name, everything is personal.

Amidst the rugged beauty of Hoy Island, a wealthy artist couple’s dream to build a cutting-edge eco-friendly home on a historic croft is shattered by a chilling discovery - the remains of a young mother and baby preserved in the peaty soil. The dark discovery throws their plans into disarray, igniting fierce tensions with islanders secretly rejoicing in the paused construction.

Enter DI Erling Flett, determined to unravel the mystery of the bodies’ identities. But as he delves deeper, a simmering family feud over the croft’s ownership threatens the very heart of his investigation, and the lives of those entangled in this web of secrets . . .
