With The Dead of Mull, Allan Martin confirms his place among Scotland's finest contemporary crime writers, and Angus Blue stands revealed as one of the genre's most human detectives - (iScot Magazine)

An Island's Deadly Secret

When an unidentified man is found dead on a ferry to Oban, seemingly from natural causes, DI Angus Blue suspects something far more sinister. With no ID and no belongings on the body, everything points to a meticulously planned crime.

As Blue navigates a perplexing investigation, an unexpected breakthrough comes from his partner: forensic archaeologist Alison Hendrickx recognizes the victim, an eccentric archaeologist rumoured to have been living off-grid on the Isle of Mull.

Was his death a random act of violence, or does a forgotten past hold the key to a deadly secret buried deep within the Scottish islands?
