Our Debts to the Past

About the book

A cold case. A guilty conscience. A killer still at large.

When activist Heather McGill pushes Police Scotland to reopen the unsolved murder of a local sex worker at Scott's View, a picturesque location in the Scottish Borders, she triggers a series of events that could expose decades of hidden truths.

DCI Rob Marshall is assigned the task of re-examining the case that his predecessors couldn't crack - and the trail points back to the group of young people who discovered the body, now adults leading separate lives.

Meanwhile, Duncan Brown has come back from Canada to look after his sick mother, but is he harboring a dark secret?

As remorse, fixation, and long-concealed realities clash, someone is determined to prevent the past from being unveiled.

Our Debts to the Past marks the eighth installment in the DI Rob Marshall series, featuring a clever detective tormented by his own history. For readers of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, JD Kirk, and LJ Ross.
