A Cold Harbour

DI Shona Oliver has landed in the sights of the National Crime Agency. They believe she knows more than she has admitted about the murder of her former boss, and they are set on making someone answer for it.

To keep her out of the spotlight, her superiors send her to Galloway in southwest Scotland. There she meets DI Kenneth Dalrymple, who is on compassionate leave looking after his terminally ill wife. Her last wish is to find out who killed her sister, a case that has been cold for a very long time. Shona agrees to help, even though she has plenty of her own troubles to deal with.

Then a new murder lands on her desk. As the investigation grows, the evidence against Shona herself seems to strengthen, and the prospect of facing a courtroom as the accused becomes harder to ignore. With a cold case, a fresh killing and her own future all pulling at her, Shona has to find the truth before the storm breaks over her.

A Cold Harbour is part of Lynne McEwan's DI Shona Oliver series.
