A high-profile case. A murdered juror. A determined detective . . .
Detective Lola Harris is called to a local park where the body of a woman has been pulled out of the river. The victim has a tattoo on her wrist - a dolphin and a heart. Lola knows who she is instantly. She's the woman half the Glasgow force have been searching for: missing juror, Kathryn Main.
Kathryn was on the jury that convicted celebrity entrepreneur and reality TV star, Carter Craig of a double murder. Just weeks later, the verdict was overturned. Carter Craig walked free.
Three jurors were arrested for misconduct. A fourth, Kathryn Main, disappeared.
Then, a witness comes forward, claiming to have new evidence in the original trial. Lola's only hope of uncovering the truth lies hundreds of miles north on the Isle of Skye.
But Carter's alibi for Kathryn's murder is solid. He isn't the only killer Lola is hunting.
With one juror already dead, Lola must prove Carter's guilt and find Kathryn's killer before they strike again . . .
A tense and unputdownable Scottish crime thriller. Perfect for fans of J.D. Kirk, Ian Rankin, Marion Todd, Alex Gray and Caro Ramsay.
