"Raw, authentic and utterly gripping. Eva Macrae drags you into Glasgow’s shadows and doesn’t let you out. Sergeant May Mackay is a force to be reckoned with." - Caroline Mitchell, bestselling author of the DI Amy Winter thrillers

-------------------------------------------

She bought a return ticket. She never came back…

When Holly Campbell’s body is found on the train tracks at Glasgow Central, police quickly rule it a suicide.

She’d had a troubled past. She’d tried before.

But Sergeant May Mackay can’t let one detail go. If Holly never wanted to come home, why did she buy a return ticket?

Driven by her own haunting loss and a promise to Holly’s grieving mother, May is determined to solve the mystery.

But the deeper she digs, the more sinister the truth becomes.

Someone is hiding a terrible secret. And they’ll do whatever it takes to keep it buried.

Even if it means silencing May for good…
