About the Book. Burdened by guilt over the trauma recently inflicted on his friends and colleagues, former-Detective Chief Inspector Jack Logan has spent the past nine months living in self-imposed exile, trying to escape the weight of past cases and the people he let down. But peace proves elusive. When a mother and her young daughter are found dead in what first appears to be a tragic suicide, closer inspection reveals a far darker truth: a calculated double murder staged to mislead investigators. Logan is dragged back from the sidelines to help hunt down a brutal and meticulous killer before they strike again.. Returning to a world that has moved on without him, Logan must navigate a minefield of old friendships, simmering resentments, and new enemies before he can hope to close in on his target. As the investigation deepens, a tight-knit Highland community begins to fracture under the pressure of suspicion and fear, and Logan realises that maybe early retirement wasn't such a bad idea after all.
