In the wake of DCI Macleod's retirement, DI Hope McGrath inherits a new DCI, one who doesn't hold with the glamourous image Hope has within the force. When a man without enemies is brutally killed atop the Cairngorms, Hope feels the pressure as she is harangued over every move she makes by her new boss. With her young boy pining for Mum, and her partner struggling at home, can Hope rise above the distractions and pressure to understand who wants the perfect hermit dead?
