The Shetland Night Killings (formerly A Handful of Ash)
Marsali Taylor
Works of: Fiction
Liveaboard skipper and amateur sleuth Cass Lynch is enjoying marine college in Scalloway, until the night she finds an acquaintance dead – with one hand smeared in peat ash.
Rumours spread of a strange ritual linked to the witches once burned in Shetland’s ancient capital, and of a horned figure roaming the night. At first Cass believes these whisperings to be mere superstition, until a second shocking murder comes to light.
Perhaps the devil really does walk in Scalloway . . .
