When a key member of the Police Scotland team fails to clock in for work, concern for her whereabouts is immediate ..... and the discovery of her burnt-out car in remote woodland to the south of Edinburgh sets off a desperate search for the missing woman.
Meanwhile, DCI Tony McLean and the team are preparing for a major anti-corruption operation - one which may raise the ire of more than a few powerful people in the city. Is Anya Renfrew's disappearance a coincidence, or related to the case?
McLean's investigations suggest that perhaps Anya isn't the first woman to have mysteriously vanished in these ancient hills. Once again, McLean can't shake the feeling that there is a far greater evil at work here....

Another entertaining read from this author but with a very gruesome ending. One thing I was pleased about was the fact that the Inspector did go out one evening and also actually ate a meal. I'd begun to wonder how he survived as in other books he seems to live on coffee.

This is going in the "Authors I Love" bookring. Happy travels little book and lets hope someone else falls in love with you.

I picked this from the Authors I love bookring. Oswald is a new author to me and I love mysteries and books set it Scotland, so this should be good! Thanks for putting it in, Tanamo!
