Death is in the air. Death is on the ground. Death is everywhere for the people of Galloway. As a catastrophic virus devastates the Scottish countryside, killing cattle and destroying lives, Detective Inspector Marjory Fleming finds herself at the stormy heart of a troubled, trapped community.

Pyres are built, infected animals are burnt, and farmland is dug up as burial ground. But the all-pervasive stench of death develops a horrifying, unfamiliar edge when human remains are dug up near the small market town of Kirkluce.

Thousands of miles away in New York City, Laura Sonfeldt resolves to discover the truth behind her older sister's disappearance fifteen years ago. Her journey takes her back to Galloway, to a menacing world where the dark secrets of the past are being ruthlessly protected.
