Publisher's summary

Nothing stays buried forever.

Lifeboat volunteer DI Shona Oliver receives a Mayday call coming from Kilcatrin Island. Upon the beach is the badly burned body of a man, and a boy lies gravely injured nearby. Strewn around them are scores of Second World War incendiary bombs, presumably washed up by the tide from Beaufort's Dyke, an offshore arms dump deep in the Irish Sea.

The dead man is a local fisherman – his son the other victim – and it rocks the tight-knit community on the shores of the Solway Firth. As lead detective, Shona has to maintain a professional distance. But she can't ignore the hardship that her neighbours who make a living at sea are experiencing. Anger is directed at the Ministry of Defence when the fallout threatens tourism, and livelihoods including Shona's own family B&B business are at risk.

Suspicious behaviour seems to be found at every turn. It's impossible for Shona to get to the truth unless she can gain the trust of those who know more than they've been willing to reveal. But blind loyalty may mean she's too late to save those still in danger – including herself.

The second instalment in an exciting new Scottish crime series featuring a detective with nerves of steel. Perfect for fans of Neil Lancaster, G. R. Halliday and Ann Cleeves.

The main character needs to pay better attention to clues and be more sensible in approaching suspects

This is the second book in the series that I’ve purchased and listened to now. Not sure I will continue cuz the author is fair with her readers in salting the story with honest clues, the main character takes many chapters to discover the obvious and then insists on barging in without back up to act the hero in apprehending the suspect. The narrator is a bit stiffly pompous in her delivery and robotic in her cadence. Anyway, I like that the series has diverse characters and raises important issues, yet the storytelling needs some work in my opinion to get to four stars.
