THE SKELETON ROAD by Val McDermid

When a skeleton is discovered hidden at the top of a crumbling, Gothic building in Edinburgh, Detective Inspector Karen Pirie is faced with the unenviable task of identifying the bones. As Karen's investigation gathers momentum, she is drawn deeper into a world of intrigue and betrayal, spanning the dark days of the Balkan Wars.

Karen's search for answers brings her to a small village in Croatia, a place scarred by fear, where people have endured unspeakable acts of violence. Meanwhile, someone is taking the law into their own hands in the name of justice and revenge - but when present resentment collides with secrets of the past, the truth is more shocking than anyone could have imagined.

Soft cover, very good condition.
