Description

The eleventh book in the Sunday Times-bestselling Inspector McLean series, from one of Scotland's most celebrated crime writers.

The charred remains of an elderly woman are discovered in a game-keepers cottage. Hidden away in woodland to the west of Edinburgh, the remote building has been raised to the ground, but it's clear to Chief Inspector Tony McLean that this was no accidental fire. It would seem too, that nor is it simply a grim arson attack; there is something ritualistic to this horrific murder.

Nor will it be the first case of death by flames that Tony and his team will be facing down. This is just the beginning - and Tony must ask, when evil such as this is at large, what will burn
