The Burning Moor

A Scottish Highlands Murder Mystery

De: Phillip Strang

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

One wildfire. Six bodies. Twenty years of secrets.

A summer wildfire scorches the remote Highland moors—and reveals something buried for decades. Not one body. Six. All murdered, all hidden in shallow graves across the burning landscape.

Detective Inspector Sarah Lynch has been in Fort William for two years, still fighting to prove herself after her Glasgow exile. This case could make her career—or destroy what little reputation she has left. Because the bodies date back twenty years, and the wealthy Highland families who control these estates don't want their secrets excavated.

As Sarah identifies the victims—drifters, runaways, people no one reported missing—a pattern emerges. Someone has been killing vulnerable people for decades, confident that remote moorland would keep their crimes hidden forever. But the drought that made the moors burn also made the graves shallow enough to find.

The killer is still out there. Still hunting. Still certain that Highland isolation protects them from justice.

But Sarah Lynch doesn't accept that remote means invisible. She'll track this serial predator across two decades of murders, even when powerful interests demand she let the past stay buried, even when her own superiors tell her to stop digging. Even when the investigation threatens to expose corruption that reaches into Police Scotland itself.

Some secrets burn to the surface. Some detectives refuse to look away.

Perfect for fans of atmospheric British crime, persistent detectives, and cold cases that won't stay cold.

Book 2 in the Detective Sarah Lynch Mysteries—where past crimes demand present justice.
