Death at the Stone Circle

DI Jack McNaughton, the unforgettable hero of MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL, returns to investigate the murder of a young man whose body is discovered at the Ring of Brodgar, one of Orkney’s most ancient and awe-inspiring landmarks.

The victim's family say he was the perfect son, a boy who never drank alcohol and was saving money to attend university. But as Jack digs deeper into the case, he finds that the truth is very diffent. The victim had links to some of the island's darker characters, and every one of them is keeping secrets. The question is, would they kill to protect their interests?

Meanwhile, Jack’s own family is beginning to fracture, and a shocking discovery about his father forces him to question everything he thought he knew about where he came from, and who he really is.
