The Relentless Tide

About the book

When Professor Francombe and her team of archaeologists discover the remains of three women on a remote Kintyre hillside - a location rumored to have once been the stronghold of Viking warlord Somerled - their initial excitement quickly turns to horror as they realize the women met a tragic end just over twenty years ago. It becomes evident that these women are the long-missing victims of the 'Midweek Murderer', a notorious serial killer who terrorized Glasgow in the early 1990s.

DCI Jim Daley now has the opportunity to right a wrong - to confront a lingering nightmare from his past and solve a case that eluded him in his early days as a detective. But with the arrival of Police Scotland's Cold Case Unit, more ghosts from the past resurface in Kinloch.

This is a story of death, treachery, Viking riches, and retribution unfolding in the liminal spaces where history, the present, and the future intersect.
