Get ready to be addicted to the page-turning new mystery thriller from Scottish crime author, Eva Macrae, perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride, Happy Valley, and Denzil Meyrick.
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…
