    Till Death Do Us Part 
    Enjoying a rare break in his remote lochside cabin, DCI Bone suddenly finds himself cut off when the mother of all snowstorms hits the Campsie Fells. Intrigued by the flickering lights from one of the loch’s uninhabited islands, Bone commandeers a local boat and heads out across stormy waters to investigate. 
     
    There, amongst the island’s ancient Celtic gravestones, Bone makes a grisly, surreal discovery: a mutilated bride and groom, bound together in frozen union. 
     
    Unable to contact his team at Kilwinnoch Police Station and ill-prepared for the weather, Bone faces one of the most gruelling cases of his career, as he battles fierce elemental forces to catch an ingenious killer with a heart far colder than a Scottish winter. 
     
    Set among the dramatic hills and glens of Scotland's Campsie Fells, Isle of the Dead is the fifth book in the bestselling edge-of-your-seat Scottish crime series that will keep you guessing right up to the nail-biting, heart-stopping climax. 
     
    Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, J.D. Kirk, Val McDermid and Stuart MacBride.
