Mark of the Devil

A murder in a remote town puts a Scottish detective on the trail of a deadly international conspiracy in this tense crime thriller.
 
While Det. Chief Inspector Jim Carruthers and his team are busy investigating a series of art thefts, they receive an anonymous tip about the body of a young woman on a deserted beach. The bizarre clues to the woman’s murder include a strange tattoo, a set of binoculars and a slab of meat left on the cliffs.

The trail leads to a local shooting estate and its wealthy owner. Carruthers starts to wonder if the missing art, the dead woman, and the estate are all connected. And when the body of a young gamekeeper is pulled from the sea, Carruthers finds himself entering a sinister world of international crime and police corruption. On a case that extends far beyond Fife, Carruthers is out on a limb against powerful individuals who are ready to kill anyone who gets I their way.
