Unburied
The Cal Lovett Files 2
Heather CritchlowPostscript summary
A desperate relative begs for his help.
Cal seeks respite on a holiday in the Scottish Highlands, but is dragged into a new cold case: an unsolved murder that shattered a family fourteen years ago.
An isolated community wary of outsiders.
Eyes follow Cal everywhere. And someone makes it very clear that they don't want him snooping around...
How far will he go to find justice? And how far is far enough?
The second thrilling instalment in the Cal Lovett Files, perfect for fans of Helen Fields, Jane Casey and Claire Douglas.
