'Lin Anderson is one of Scotland's national treasures' - Stuart MacBride, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Logan McRae series

'The start of a very special new series' - Deon Meyer, international bestselling author of the Benny Griessel series

When everyone knows your name, every case is personal . . .

Meet DI Erling Flett in The High Island, the heart-racing crime thriller that you won't be able to put down. From Lin Anderson, author of the acclaimed Rhona MacLeod series.

On the rugged Isle of Hoy, a wealthy couple's dream of building a stunning eco-home becomes a waking nightmare when the peat yields a grisly secret: the remains of a young mother and her baby.

For DI Erling Flett, the discovery is a personal haunting. He spent years running from Orkney, only to be pulled back to the islands he once fled. As he fights to identify the nameless dead, the community pushes back - and his own troubled history begins to surface.

At the heart of the mystery lies a lethal family feud over blood-soaked soil. Can Flett finally face the ghosts of his past? Or will the island claim its next victim before the truth is told?

Introducing the DI Erling Flett series, a gripping Tartan-Noir offshoot of Lin Anderson's acclaimed Rhona MacLeod series. Perfect for fans of Val McDermid and Elly Griffiths.
