In the most remote spot of the hills surrounding Loch Tay, a woman's remains were found. She had lay there a while, but any evidence of who she was had long gone or never existed. Crime podcaster Cal Lovett seeks to put 'Hillside Jane' to rest, but is he merely running from his own troubles?
With the wife of his sister's alleged killer missing and a sense that any chance he had of getting justice for Margot is slipping from his grasp, Cal is at a crossroads. Perhaps peace for Hillside Jane will soothe his own fears. But events in the village don't bring the results anyone expected. Is Cal so stuck in the past that he won't spot the risk he faces in the here and now?
A gripping instalment of the bestselling Scottish crime series from Bloody Scotland Debut Prize for Scottish Crime-shortlisted author Heather Critchlow. Perfect for fans of Jane Casey, Claire Douglas and Neil Lancaster.
