About this ebook
'Lin Anderson is one of Scotland’s national treasures' – Stuart MacBride, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Logan McRae series
'A very special new series' – Deon Meyer, international bestselling author of the Benny Griessel series
A sealed suitcase and a missing student push DI Erling Flett into a race against time as a merciless storm closes in on Orkney . . .
When archaeology student Zinnie Turner buys a sealed suitcase at a lost-luggage auction, she promises her followers a live online unboxing. Instead, a cryptic phone call sends her vanishing into a brutal Orkney blizzard. When DI Erling Flett and DS Jo Green break into her flat, Zinnie is gone - and so is the luggage.
But Zinnie isn’t the only one hiding secrets. Erling is already investigating rowdy teenagers causing chaos at the local ruins, while Jo tracks a vicious cyber-ring operating right under their noses at the high school. And when a local youth is brutally assaulted, it’s clear the town's teenagers are caught in a dangerous web.
As a total blackout plunges the island into pitch darkness, a desperate race against time begins. Erling and Jo must quickly unpack the conspiracy gripping the town's youngsters and find out how it links to Zinnie's disappearance - before the freezing dark claims another victim.
The Blackout Coast is the second instalment in the DI Erling Flett series, a gripping Tartan-Noir offshoot of Lin Anderson’s acclaimed Rhona MacLeod series. Perfect for fans of Val McDermid and Elly Griffiths.
