The Missing Dead

The Missing Dead by J M Dalgliesh is a dark, fast-paced crime novel that drops you onto the windswept Isle of Skye, where old sins have a way of resurfacing. When DI Duncan McAdam is called to a cemetery to inspect a desecrated grave, he pulls at a thread that leads back to a trawler crew marked by strange deaths and one man who’s still alive.

A ransacked house, blood on the floor, and a body in the boot of a car turn the investigation into something far more personal — and far more dangerous. As Duncan digs into what happened on a stormy night at sea years earlier, the whole island seems to be keeping score.

Perfect for fans of Scottish crime fiction, police procedurals, sharp small-town suspense, and atmospheric island settings.

Add it to your basket and let Skye’s secrets draw you in.
