Three perilous journeys towards one shocking truth. On the remote Hebridean Isle of Harris a man washes up on a deserted beach, hypothermic and completely disoriented. He has no idea who he is or how he got there. The only clue to his identity is a folded map of a path named the Coffin Road. He does not know where this search will take him. Meanwhile, a detective from Lewis sits aboard a boat, filled with doubt. DS George Gunn knows that a bludgeoned corpse has been discovered on a remote rock twenty miles offshore. Gunn does not know if he has what it takes to uncover how and why. At the same time, a teenage girl lies in her Edinburgh bedroom, desperate to discover the truth about her scientist father's death. Two years on, Karen Fleming still cannot accept that he would wilfully abandon her. She does not yet know his secret.

Gatunek

Powieść Kryminał Fantastyka Dystopia

It is the year 2051. Warnings of climate catastrophe have been ignored, and vast areas of the planet are under water, or uninhabitably hot. A quarter of the world's population has been displaced by hunger and flooding, and immigration wars are breaking out around the globe as refugees pour into neighboring countries. By contrast, melting ice sheets have brought the Gulf Stream to a halt and northern latitudes, including Scotland, are being hit by snow and ice storms. It is against this backdrop that Addie, a young meteorologist checking a mountain top weather station, discovers the body of a man entombed in ice. The dead man is George Younger, investigative reporter, missing for three months after vanishing during what he claimed was a hill-walking holiday. Cameron Brodie, a veteran Glasgow detective, volunteers to be flown north to investigate Younger's death, but he has more than a murder enquiry on his agenda. He knows the time has come to face his estranged daughter who has made her home in the remote Highland village. Arriving during an ice storm, Brodie and pathologist Dr. Sita Roy, find themselves the sole quests at the International Hotel, where Younger's body has been kept refrigerated. But evidence uncovered during his autopsy places the lives of both Brodie and Roy in extreme jeopardy. Brodie must face up not only to the ghosts of his past, but to a killer determined to bury forever the chilling secret that George Younger's investigations had threatened to expose.
