Waterstones Says

Opening a new period crime series featuring reporter Allie Burns, McDermid’s page-turning thriller finds Burns probing the dark secrets that lie behind the veneer of respectable Scotland – with deadly results.

This is the atmospheric, heart-pounding first novel in a gripping new series by the Queen of Crime, Val McDermid.

The shadows hide a deadly story ...

1979. It is the winter of discontent, and reporter Allie Burns is chasing her first big scoop. There are few women in the newsroom and she needs something explosive for the boys' club to take her seriously.

Soon Allie and fellow journalist Danny Sullivan are exposing the criminal underbelly of respectable Scotland. They risk making powerful enemies - and Allie won't stop there.

When she discovers a home-grown terrorist threat, Allie comes up with a plan to infiltrate the group and make her name. But she's a woman in a man's world ... and putting a foot wrong could be fatal.
