Long Time Dead

The first murder mystery in J M Dalgliesh's internationally bestselling Misty Isle series.

You can’t stay dead forever…

A group of high school students gather on the Isle of Skye’s remote Coral Beach for a party to celebrate the passing of their finals. Their future beckons, promising new hope and a fresh wind of optimism.

In the coming days, many will leave the island for work or to study on the mainland, whereas others will remain on Skye and forge a more traditional path much as their families have done for centuries before them. That is, all but one…

D.I. Duncan McAdam is dispatched home to the Misty Isle. A body has been found buried in a remote location on the Waternish peninsula. A teenage runaway is dead, and no one is talking…

Set amidst the dramatic landscape of the Isle of Skye, this addictive and fast-paced crime novel takes you into the heart of a rural community, where everyone is hiding secrets.
A Long Time Dead is the first book in the new Misty Isle series of crime thrillers from the Amazon #1 multi-million selling crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the author of the Hidden Norfolk and Dark Yorkshire books.
