Pine

Winner of the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Fiction, 2020

Lauren and her father Niall live alone in the Highlands, in a small village surrounded by pine forest. When a woman stumbles out onto the road one Halloween night, Niall drives her back to their house in his pickup. In the morning, she's gone.

In a community where daughters rebel, men quietly rage, and drinking is a means of forgetting, mysteries like these are not out of the ordinary. The trapper found hanging with the dead animals for two weeks. Locked doors and stone circles. The disappearance of Lauren's mother a decade ago.

Lauren looks for answers in her tarot cards, hoping she might one day be able to read her father's turbulent mind. Neighbours know more than they let on, but when local teenager Ann-Marie goes missing it's no longer clear who she can trust.

"Hugely atmospheric, exquisitely written and utterly gripping" - Lucy Foley, author of The Hunting Party

"It's both eerie and thrilling at once, and had me under its spell until the end" - Sophie Mackintosh, author of Blue Ticket and The Water Cure
