By Owen Whitelaw. On a remote Scottish island the discovery of several bodies in a peat bog is traced back to a calamitous event in 2000BC.

Owen Whitelaw’s thriller is set on a remote Scottish island and spans two time zones 4000 years apart.  In the present day the discovery of several bodies in a peat bog is connected to a calamitous event that sparked the destruction of an ancient religion in 2000BC. Two archaeologists try to unravel the mystery of the bodies preserved in the bog but a 21st century catastrophe looms as rising sea levels threaten to engulf the island.
