Set against the haunting backdrop of Glasgow, this gripping installment in the Rhona MacLeod series delves into the dark intersection of modern crime and ancient rituals. When Amy MacKenzie experiences a chilling message from her deceased son, it sets off a chain of events that leads forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod into a perplexing investigation. As she examines a mysterious body found in a neolithic stone circle, she uncovers unsettling details, including severed hands and a cryptic stone marked with the number five. With DI Michael McNab's theory pointing towards gang activity, Rhona remains skeptical and determined to dig deeper into the symbolic significance of the evidence. As the investigation unfolds, a second victim surfaces under similar circumstances, revealing a sinister pattern that suggests a calculated killer orchestrating a ritualistic game. This edition not only propels readers into a thrilling narrative but also offers insights into forensic science, investigative techniques, and the power of ancient symbols in understanding modern crimes. Readers will be captivated by the intricate plot and the blend of suspense and science, making it an essential read for those interested in forensic psychology and criminal investigation.
