Overview

In the sequel to Errant Blood, C F Peterson brings us a new crime thriller set in the Scottish Highlands.

Eamon's newfound happiness is shattered by the kind of murder that the government doesn't want to believe happens anymore. Detective Maclean thinks he has the killer, but something far worse than a body has been found beneath the waters of the Loch, something that should never have been brought to the surface, and now it is not just TV crews that are watching the village.

This novel is the second in the series set in and around the village of Duncul.

Reviews

'A high-octane thriller that sets off at speed and never relents until it reaches its conclusion, numerous entertaining twists and turns later’ Undiscovered Scotland

'C.F. Peterson has done it again. A story with global resonance in a deeply Scottish setting, full of big ideas though the action never stops, every individual in the huge ensemble clearly picked out and playing an essential part, THE PURIFIED is a joy from irresistible start to shattering finish.’ – Catriona McPherson, author, Quiet Neighbors

‘A superbly constructed literary thriller’ Undiscovered Scotland on Errant Blood

'Themes of family, mortality, morality, love, and betrayal are examined in a fresh and invigorating manner. . . . The author’s voice is very distinctive. He has that rare ability to create a world which is recognisable and real but not quite like anywhere else.’ Scots Whay Hae! on Errant Blood
