DI Fraser Brodie

Cut. Slashed. Sliced.

When Detective Fraser Brodie arrives on the scene of his latest case in the rugged outer Hebrides, he finds Simon Carver's body brutally carved up. In an even more sick twist, the man's tongue has been removed.

The last time people witnessed horror like this on the remote and isolated isle of Lewis, it was at the hands of DI Brodie's own brother. With Adam serving a life sentence in HMP Barlinnie, Brodie knows enough about murder to be sure that Carver won't be this killer's last victim.

When a second body is found the next day, the scene confirms Brodie's worst fears: they are chasing a serial killer who is hell bent on punishing his victims. But why?

As DI Brodie and his team race to prevent the next murder, he finds a disturbing link between the victims and his own past... Something that only his brother will be able to help him understand.

Can DI Fraser Brodie stop the killer before they strike too close to home?
