Publisher's Synopsis
A woman is lured to a remote spot in the Scottish Highlands and strangled almost to the point of death. As she begs for mercy, her tormentor begins to carve her face before burying her alive. In Edinburgh, it emerges that unorthodox young lawyer Brodie McLennan was the last person to see the victim and crucial evidence is found at her flat. Meanwhile in an asylum in Inverness, a deranged patient writes the name Brodie over and over in her own blood. As another mutilated body is found, Brodie is running scared from unknown forces eager to see blood on her hands.
