Summary
Don't miss the third instalment of the DI Fraser Brodie series as he and his team solve their next gripping case in the Scottish Isles!

The past won't stay buried. And neither will the truth.

When the body of retired racehorse trainer Jack McFarlane is discovered in his isolated bungalow, the scene offers few clues.

No forced entry. No fingerprints. Just a dead man - and an empty bed where his sixteen-year-old daughter should be.

Samantha McFarlane is gone. Her phone abandoned.

Her inhaler left behind.

As DI Fraser Brodie searches for a killer - and a girl whose life may be slipping away by the hour - he senses that this crime didn't begin that night. It began years ago, rooted in an old tragedy. And the killer is still waiting. Watching. Ready to finish what they started.

As he grapples with secrets of his own, can DI Brodie untangle a web of grief, vengeance and long-buried truths before Samantha becomes the next body in the peat?

Set in the Scottish isles and perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh, Cara Hunter and Ann Cleeves, The Restless Bones is a haunting, tightly wound thriller where the past is never truly dead.

Readers CANNOT get enough of The Restless Bones!
