Publisher's summary

Midwinter in Orkney.

Six hours of daylight.

A race against time to catch a killer.

'My debut novel of the year' CHRIS LLOYD

'I couldn't turn the pages fast enough' NASHEEMA LENNON

Reporter Freya Sinclair has always known she was different. While waiting on the outcome of an autism assessment, Freya uproots her life in Glasgow, quitting her job at one of Scotland’s top broadsheets and taking a local beat in her childhood home of Orkney. But her plans for a quiet life are shattered when human remains are exhumed by a winter storm on Orkney’s wild Atlantic coast.

The identity of the bones opens old wounds in the islands, and sheds light on a darker truth nobody wants to accept. As the nights draw in, Freya’s obsessive hunt for answers turns into a cat-and-mouse game, with each secret she unearths threatening her job, compromising her family, and exposing new victims to a killer who's watching from the shadows…

'Daniel Aubrey can do for Orkney what Ann Cleeves has done for Shetland in this absorbing novel. It transported me' MARION TODD

‘Twists and secrets galore … A nail-biting thriller you'll never forget’ CAROLINE MITCHELL

'A tense read with emotional honesty … Freya is a triumph' CALLUM McSORLEY
