Death in the Black Wood (Deadly Highlands 3)

On the way to investigate a series of car thefts, DCI Conall Keane and his partner Caitlin Murray get a call to investigate a body. A charred body that has been eaten and mangled beneath an oak tree.

Originally, the department believes animals got a hold of the body but they soon learn that the body was intentionally mangled in such a terrible way. All of the damage was done on purpose but it’s impossible to imagine someone doing this to another human being.

Keane recruits his cousin Shay once again to help them out. But Shay is hesitant since the body was found so close to their home in Dores. Keane has to find this monstrous murderer before it he strikes again, too close for comfort.
