The Blurb –
Detective Inspector Hunter Wilson is called to the scene of a murder. DCs Tim Myerscough and Bear Zewedu found a corpse, but when Hunter arrives it has disappeared, and all is not as it seems.
Hunter recalls the disappearance of a dead body thirty years earlier. The Major Incident Team is called in but sees no connection – it is too long ago. Hunter is determined to investigate the past and the present with the benefit of modern DNA testing.
Tim has other problems in his life. His father, Sir Peter Myerscough, is released from jail. He, too, remembers the earlier murder. There is no love lost between Hunter and Sir Peter. Will Hunter accept help from his nemesis to catch a killer?
Hunter’s own secret is exciting and crucial to his future. Will it change his life? And can he keep Edinburgh safe?

My thoughts – Another great instalment in the Hunter series.
This books sees us delve more into the history of Hunter and it gives us a greater insight into how his past shapes his present.
The author successfully links the past and present in this book. When a body is found and then disappears, Hunter finds himself involved in another intriguing case.
You can read this book as a standalone but I really recommend going back to the beginning and enjoying the whole series. You won’t regret it.
