DCI Cieran Black is being punished. He just doesn't know why.

So when he is sent to the snow-covered Highlands to solve a girl's murder in a small village where everyone knows everyone, he knows it's because the simple case wasn't worth sending in anyone more worthy.

But when the body is discovered to have been mutilated, the case takes a turn, and now Black and his team of misfits must put their heads together to solve this case against all odds. And out in the middle of nowhere, with a group no one has faith in and very limited resources, they must pull out all the stops.

Before more blood gets spilled.
