Cold Bore: Dead Ground (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188795306)

In 1972, Agnes MacRae returns to the Argyll farm she left behind and finds only blackened stone, ash, and a dead neighbour. It is the fifth burned farm in the district, and the police have no witnesses, no answers, and little hope.

Agnes is trained to observe what others overlook. As she follows the pattern behind the fires, a respectable land company and its quiet enforcer begin to emerge from the smoke. But when the violence reaches the people who gave her shelter, Agnes must decide how far she is prepared to go to level the ground.

Cold Bore: Dead Ground is a taut Scottish thriller of silence, precision, and consequence.
