SOME SECRETS ARE BEST LEFT BURIED. Knee-deep in the mud of an ancient burial ground, a winter storm raging around him, and at least one person intent on his death: how did Murray Watson end up here? His quiet life in university libraries researching the lives of writers seems a world away, and yet it is because of the mysterious writer, Archie Lunan, dead for thirty years, that Murray now finds himself scrabbling in the dirt on the remote island of Lismore. Loaded with Welsh's trademark wit, insight and gothic charisma, this adventure novel weaves the lives of Murray and Archie together in a tale of literature, obsession and dark magic.

Industry Reviews

* Masterful...It is the most rounded of Welsh's books to date, fulfilling the huge promise of her earlier work, combining a whip-cracking plot with a literary touch that lifts her way above her genre colleagues...so much more than another literary mystery. The Times * Welsh is adept at keeping you reading till the end. Daily Mail * If you love curling up with an atmospheric thriller, this is the novel for you... Spellbinding! Grazia * Welsh creates a vivid sense of place... She paces revelations with care and keeps you hooked till the end. Metro * Saturated with dark imagery... enjoyable and exciting. TLS * Welsh is one of the sharpest and most entertaining current Scottish writers, and her style, intelligence and wit, combined with a rather gothic texture, make her books extremely readable. Times Higher Education Supplement * A tale of literature, obsession and dark magic. Scots Magazine
