The Darkness and the Deep by Aline Templeton

The Darkness and the Deep by Aline Templeton

The wreck of the Knockhaven lifeboat with the loss of all three of its crew is a hard blow for the small Scottish town. But it's harder still when DS Tam MacNee discovers that it isn't simply a tragic accident. Was it just the act of vandals, bored in a fishing port stricken with unemployment? Could it be linked to the drugs trade which has taken root in the locality? Or is there someone who, in their determination to kill one person, is callous enough to take two innocent lives? And if so, who is the intended victim? As DI Marjory Fleming and her team investigate multiple murders, with a whole community hungry for justice, the pressure - professional and personal - is on.

"'Aline Templeton has demonstrated that, just when we thought Scotland was saturated with detectives, a strong woman can elbow her way in and find a unique niche' Scotsman * 'A compelling read' - Margaret Yorke on COLD IN THE EARTH * 'Aline Templeton has a wondrously deft, unpretentiously beautiful style, full of good things' - Hampstead & Highgate Express on THE TRUMPET * 'Aline Templeton as been producing quietly intelligent, carefully plotted thrillers for years. Templeton creates a tight, convincing band of characters and has the ability to spin her story beyond immediate events to paint a picture of a small rural community in crisis. She is good at managing her plot and revealing details slowly. She has demonstrated that, just when we thought Scotland was saturated with detectives, a strong woman can elbow her way in and find a unique niche.' - Scotsman on COLD IN THE EARTH * 'This astringent tale of psychological suspense set in a remote Welsh valley uses the landscape with an almost visionary splendour' The Times on NIGHT AND SILENCE - * 'Templeton crafts a nifty plot amid the dour and inward-looking denizens of a Fenland village' - Scotsman on LAST ACT OF ALL"
