PETER MAY MIXES MURDER, MYSTERY and MEMORY . . . AND MARKS HIS RETURN TO THE OUTER HEBRIDES
A man stands bewildered on a deserted beach on the Hebridean Isle of Harris. He cannot remember who he is. The only clue to his identity is a folded map of a path named the Coffin Road. He does not know where this search will take him.
A detective from Lewis sits aboard a boat, filled with doubt. DS George Gunn knows that a bludgeoned corpse has been discovered on a remote rock twenty miles offshore. He does not know if he has what it takes to uncover how and why.
A teenage girl lies in her Edinburgh bedroom, desperate to discover the truth about her scientist father’s suicide. Two years on, Karen Fleming still cannot accept that he would wilfully abandon her. She does not yet know his secret.
Coffin Road follows three perilous journeys towards one shocking truth – and the realisation that ignorance can kill us.

Praise for Peter May:
He is a terrific writer doing something different.
From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer.
Wonderfully compelling.
A true pleasure to read.
Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth.
One of the best regarded crime series of recent years.
Lyrical, empathetic and moving.
A wonderfully complex book.
May's novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships.
Will have the reader relishing every tendency of description and characterization.
Dark, exciting and atmospheric.
Powerful and authentic.
