When the owner of a Portree gallery is found dead, lying in the snow at the foot of the Storr, D.I. Duncan McAdam and his small team must piece together what took him there... and who had a reason to kill him.

The deceased had many friends, and even more enemies. A man with a flirtatious eye and no lack of ambition, there is no shortage of people who, at best, would turn a blind eye if something happened to him, and at worst... would willingly kill him themselves.

As Duncan reveals the long-held secrets of the man's life, he finds the ghosts of his own past coming back to haunt him. The course of the investigation will not only bring others into danger, but Duncan himself will have to face his own past... whether he likes it or not...

The Dead Man of Storr is the second book in a new series of mysteries set on Scotland's atmospheric Isle of Skye, the Misty Isle, by the multi-million bestselling British crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the author of the Hidden Norfolk and Dark Yorkshire books.
