Isle of the Dead
(2023)(The fifth book in the DCI Bone Scottish Crime Thrillers series)
A novel by TG Reid
Snowbound. An island graveyard. Two bodies bound as one.
Taking a rare break in his remote lochside caravan, DCI Duncan Bone is cut off when a brutal whiteout slams into the Campsie Fells. When flickering lights appear on one of the loch’s uninhabited islands, Bone commandeers a small boat and fights his way across the loch through the storm to investigate.
Among ancient Celtic gravestones he finds a nightmare scene: a mutilated bride and groom, posed in a macabre embrace. With communications down, the loch impassable and the weather worsening by the minute, Bone must secure the scene, survive the elements, and hunt a cold-blooded killer who uses the storm as cover.
Back on the mainland, fear spreads, alibis crumble and old grudges surface — while the blizzard threatens to erase the last traces of the truth.Can DCI Bone catch a killer who thrives in the cold before the evidence — and the next victim — disappears under the snow?
A chilling Scottish crime thriller and police procedural for fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, J.D. Kirk and Stuart MacBride. Isle of the Dead delivers authentic policing, razor-sharp Scottish dialogue, and relentless tension set against an ice-locked loch and the atmospheric Campsie Fells — the dark heart of Tartan Noir.
