The past won't stay silent. Justice demands answers. But can he live with the truth? For nearly thirty years, DCI McNeill has been haunted by the unsolved murder of his sister. Now, returning to Skye, he's finally ready to uncover the truth-no matter the cost. But as he digs into the past, old wounds are ripped open and long-buried secrets begin to resurface. Someone wants the truth to stay hidden. Someone willing to kill to keep it buried. Then Clio vanishes without a trace, and as Mac scrambles to find her, he realises the past isn't just haunting him-it's hunting him. As isolation and claustrophobia take their toll, Mac must confront the ghosts of his past before they consume him completely. Some truths demand blood. Others, a sacrifice. But this time, it could mean both.
