Shadow Man is a harrowing and horrific game of consequences’ Val McDermid

THE BRILLIANTLY COMPELLING SECOND NOVEL IN THE DI LUKAS MAHLER SERIES

A missing child. A seventy-year-old murder. And a killer who’s still on the loose.

Ten year-old Erin is missing; taken in broad daylight during a friend’s birthday party. With no witnesses and no leads, DI Lukas Mahler races against time to find her. But is it already too late for Erin – and will her abductor stop at one stolen child?

And the discovery of human remains on a construction site near Inverness confronts Mahler’s team with a cold case from the 1940s. Was Aeneas Grant’s murder linked to a nearby POW camp, or is there an even darker story to be uncovered?

With his team stretched to the limit, Mahler’s hunt for Erin’s abductor takes him from Inverness to the Lake District. And decades-old family secrets link both casesin a shocking final twist.

Margaret Kirk's brilliant Inverness series is atmospheric and gripping. She goes from strength to strength. What Lies Buried is an absolute cracker!
Cass Green
Told with an admirable grasp on police procedure and an unerring feel for character, the truth gradually emerges from the horror: this is Tartan Noir at its very best.
