MEET DETECTIVE LOLA HARRIS. A TOUGH COP WITH ATTITUDE, BUT A GOOD HEART. 

A secluded retreat. A storm closing in. A killer among them.  

Detective Lola Harris is persuaded to take a much-needed break in the remote Scottish Highlands. She’s expecting peace and quiet. But Ardaig Castle, an exclusive wellness retreat for the rich and famous, has its own dark secrets.  

Lola soon discovers that someone is sending poison pen letters to the staff. They’re growing more malicious each week. The latest reads: Why have you employed a killer among your staff? 

As a storm rages outside, paranoia spreads within. The castle’s wealthy guests are rattled, old wounds are reopened and then – a body is discovered sprawled on the stone-flagged floor of the castle hallway, limbs twisted at an impossible angle.   

Trapped by the weather, Lola must untangle a web of lies, grudges and hidden pasts before the killer strikes again.   

Because at Ardaig Castle, not everyone is who they claim to be – and someone will kill to keep their secrets buried.  

A tense and unputdownable Scottish crime thriller. Perfect for fans of J.D. Kirk, Ian Rankin, Marion Todd, Alex Gray, Val McDermid and Caro Ramsay.
