...A raging storm cut off an island from the world off the coast of Scotland. An island where death has arrived.
To whom does the mutilated, burned beyond all recognition body belong, accidentally discovered by the retired detective Brody in an abandoned cottage?
Who and why committed this terrible murder—and made sure no one, ever, would be able to identify the remains?
Is this murder connected to the deaths of two more people whose lives were taken by a very suspicious fire?
An experienced forensic expert, David Hunter, comes to the island for a vacation.
Together with Brody, he begins an investigation—while the killer is already plotting a new crime.
