The Isle of Skye is a place where the air feels thick with silence. The inhabitants keep their distance, and the cold, drafty lodge across the bay is steeped in secrecy. Every glance lingers, every word measured. On this island, nothing is as it seems.

Detective Kelso Strang hasn’t been sent to Skye to solve a case — he’s been sent there to disappear.

Still reeling from the sudden death of his wife, Strang is a man on the edge and his behaviour is worrying the team.

When reports reach head office that a young woman has vanished from a remote lodge, Superintendent Jane Borthwick seizes the opportunity to get Strang out of Edinburgh and sends him to investigate.

Strang arrives at the remote coastal village of Balnasheil to find the case is darker than it first appeared. At the centre is Balnasheil Lodge, home to Human Face, a charity that claims to help the vulnerable. But Strang quickly senses there’s more to the lodge than its polished image.

The locals are tight-lipped. The charity operates behind closed doors. And its enigmatic director, Adam Carnegie, is clearly hiding something.

Then a body is found, half-buried in the moorland peat — and what began as a routine missing persons inquiry becomes a hunt for a killer.
