Broken Ground: Val McDermid

`Somebody has been here before us. And he`s still here . . .`
When a body is discovered in the remote depths of the Highlands, DCI Karen Pirie finds herself in the right place at the right time. Unearthed with someone`s long-buried inheritance, the victim seems to belong to the distant past - until new evidence suggests otherwise, and Karen is called in to unravel a case where nothing is as it seems.
It`s not long before an overheard conversation draws Karen into the heart of a different case, however - a shocking crime she thought she`d already prevented. As she inches closer to the twisted truths at the centre of these murders, it becomes clear that she`s dealing with a version of justice terrifyingly different to her own . . .
Number one bestseller and queen of crime Val McDermid returns with her most breathtakingly atmospheric and exhilarating novel yet.
