From the Shadows
What you need to know before your trail
Sixteen-year-old Robert arrives home late. Without a word to his dad, he goes up to his bedroom. Robert is never seen alive again.
A body is soon found on the coast of the Scottish Highlands. Detective Inspector Monica Kennedy is drawn into the murder investigation and she has a feeling that the case won’t begin and end with this one death.
Meanwhile, Inverness-based social worker Michael Bach is worried about one of his clients whose last correspondence was a single ambiguous text message; Nichol Morgan has been missing for seven days.
As Monica is faced with catching a murderer who has been meticulously watching and waiting, Michael keeps searching for Nichol, desperate to find him before the killer claims another victim.

Travel Guide
Inverness and surrounding area
The landscape and atmosphere of this novel is very inkeeping with the subject and themes of the book.
The mood is melancholic and morose and this hangs heavy throughout. Further deep in the remote countryside, near a loch, 16 year old Robert Wright disappears from his home and is found hours later with a stone thrust deep down his throat.
The Scottish Highlands are a character in its own right.
