"Powerful, moving and wise - Val McDermid's books are always enthralling."--Harlan Coben "A beautifully structured, witty and twisty novel."--Ann Cleeves The new installment in the "relentlessly engrossing series" (Wall Street Journal) finds Karen Pirie and her team investigating the murder of a journalist paved under a motorway--but was it his work or his private life that put him there?  Scotland, 2025. When torrential winter rain causes a landslide on a  motorway, it dislodges more than mud and asphalt - it reveals a skeleton, concealed when the road was built eleven years prior.  Sam Nimmo, an investigative journalist who'd been poking his nose into the murky politics of the Scottish independence referendum, had become the prime suspect in the brutal murder of his girlfriend when he vanished. Now he's reappeared, buried under the motorway. It's the perfect cold case for DCI Karen Pirie, chief of Police Scotland's Historic Cases Unit. What was Nimmo investigating that was worth killing over? Or was it revenge for murdering his girlfriend? Meanwhile, an allegation of murder has surfaced over the supposedly accidental death of a hotel manager. It may have links to another accident on a remote Highland road. It's a series of puzzles that tests Karen and her team to their limits. And possibly beyond . . .
