She thought she was in control. She was wrong.

When the frozen corpse of Andie Sinclair is found at Devil’s Elbow in the Scottish Highlands, Forensic Psychologist Dr Chrissy Ferguson isn’t surprised. She already knew the woman was dead.

Struggling with the crippling visions of death and violence that plague her sleep, Chrissy wants to flee, to find a haven where the haunting echoes of death and the weight of her mother’s trial can’t reach. But DCI Ross Fraser is here, asking for help. And she would do anything for Ross.

As the investigation unearths multiple suspects with motive for murder, it becomes clear that Andie wasn’t the innocent she seemed. Harbouring an insatiable hunger for adoration, her every move was orchestrated to ensure love and affection from everyone around her by whatever means necessary.

Andie was good at what she did. But someone wanted something in return for their love.

Her life.
