A Burning Van. A Murdered Minister. A Conspiracy Fuelled by Faith, Lies, and Vengeance. When Detective Inspector Viv Wylde is called to a remote stretch of the Scottish Highlands, she expects another murder investigation.
She does not expect to find a burned-out van, a body chained inside, and a respected minister murdered in an execution that looks anything but random. As Viv and her Major Investigation Team begin to unravel the victim's final days, they uncover a tangled web of corruption, organised crime, religious extremism, family loyalties, and long-buried secrets.
Then another body is discovered. Then another. Every answer uncovers a deeper deception. With suspects hiding behind respectable reputations, a dangerous criminal network operating in the shadows, and a killer willing to silence anyone who gets too close, Viv soon realises that nothing about this investigation is what it first appeared.
As the body count rises and the truth edges closer, Viv must race against time to stop a killer whose twisted sense of justice leaves only death in its wake. Because some promises are stronger than the law. And some blood oaths can only be broken by murder.
