ou wake up wet & cold.
You must have passed out drunk.

Your head is full of muddle, empty of memories.

In your pocket is a grindaknivur,
a knife for cutting whale meat.

The blade is coated with someone else's blood....


When John Callum arrives on the wild and desolate Faroe Islands, he vows to sever all ties with his previous life. He desperately wants to make a new start, and is surprised by how quickly he is welcomed into the close-knit community. But still, the terrifying, debilitating nightmares just won't stop.

Then the solitude is shattered by an almost unheard of crime on the islands: murder. A specialist team of detectives arrives from Denmark to help the local police, who seem completely ill-equipped for an investigation of this scale. But as tensions rise, and the community closes rank to protect its own, John has to watch his back.

But far more disquieting than that, John's nightmares have taken an even more disturbing turn, and he can't be certain about the one thing he needs to know above all else. Whether he is the killer…

On its way to earthcaroleanne to be put on her Scottish book buffet in Falkirk.

Picked up yesterday. Thank you.
