Bone broth

Behind him stood three dead boys. And from the wardrobe came the nightmares. From the wardrobe came the grief. From the wardrobe came the bones.

A missing child. A tortured inspector. A ticking clock. Ten years earlier, Chief Inspector Jack Logan caught the serial child killer known as "Mr. Whisper". Logan now works in the Major Crimes unit in Glasgow, and at night he relives the horrors he has seen. And the ones he committed. When a child goes missing again in the northern mountains, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home.

Gradually, however, the similarities between the two cases multiply, raising doubt: is it possible that so many years ago Jack caught the wrong man? And if so, will Mr. Whisper succeed in killing his victim this time too?

Chief Inspector Logan will undoubtedly become one of the most beloved Scottish detectives. - Adam Croft
