## About this book

D.I. Duncan McAdam investigates a disturbed grave that unearths deadly secrets from a trawler crew’s past. Three crewmen died mysteriously: one fell, one died by suicide, one jumped from a cliff, and the fourth has vanished. A widow’s ransacked house and a body concealed in a car boot deepen the case. The Missing Dead is the first volume in J M Dalgliesh’s Misty Isle series, a gripping police procedural mystery with elements of family life and crime thriller.

As McAdam pieces together the events of a stormy night at sea, personal challenges with his son resurface, threatening to derail the investigation. With a killer willing to bury the truth, he must locate the last crewman before more lives are lost.
