He counted Archie as a childhood friend, so this case is more personal than most. Now living in Orkney with his partner, Willow, and their son, Perez is soon drawn into the lives of the islanders, many of whom hold secrets. Dark secrets, which could have led to the man''s murder. Here, in these ancient lands where history runs deep, Perez must discern the truth from legend before a desperate killer strikes again . . .
