Following his near-fatal injury dealt by his last case, Chief Superintendent Serrailler is eager to return to work. As he recuperates on a remote Scottish island, the overstretched local police force pull him into a murder inquiry: a newcomer, popular with the islanders, has died in perplexing circumstances, and the community's reactions are fragile and complicated. Meanwhile, in Lafferton, a second case arises. A woman whose daughter disappeared some years before is haunting the police station seeking closure. She insists a convicted and imprisoned criminal is the kidnapper but needs proof to send him to justice, so Chief Constable Kieron Bright, Serrailler's new brother-in-law, calls him in to perform a cold-case review Through the investigation, Serrailler also glimpses new and alarming sides of his family members as he adjusts to his sister Cat's recent marriage to Kieron.
