“[A]n exquisitely executed, great Gothic slow-burn that will keep you thinking and guessing long after you’ve reached the end.” —Louisa Luna, author of Tell Me Who You Are
An island lost in time. A cryptic, pagan past. Secrets that should stay buried.
Eilean Eadar is a barren, windswept rock inhabited by a few hundred humans and sheep. Until now, the island was best known for the unsolved mystery of the three lighthouse keepers who vanished back in 1919. But when a young man is found dead at the base of that same lighthouse, two detective inspectors are sent from Glasgow to investigate.
Georgina “George” Lennox is finally back from leave after a devastating accident and happy to be on the case. That is, until she meets the hostile islanders, who seem determined to thwart the investigation, and their enigmatic priest, who seems to be part of every interview. Then there’s George’s partner, Richie, who just wants to close the case and head home to his family. He doesn’t see that there is something off about this tiny community. He hasn’t heard the wolves howling or seen the dark figures at their window at night. He’s too busy watching George as if waiting for her to break.
With the dark secrets of the island swirling around them, George and Richie must decide who to trust and what to believe as they spin closer to the terrible truth. Laced with Scottish legend yet sharp and modern in voice, The Wolf Tree announces a spellbinding new voice in crime and mystery fiction.
