Summoning the Dead

With his near-fatal stabbing almost a memory DI Bob Valentine is settling back onto the force until one of Ayrshire's darkest secrets is unearthed. The skeletal remains of a boy his hands and feet cable-tied turns up in a semi-foetal position during routine drainage works. The boy is soon identified as a missing child from the 1980s re-opening a cold case that was previously thought unsolvable. When the remains of more children are unearthed Valentine soon finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy linking the past and present through some of the most shocking crimes of his police career.
