Set against a backdrop of a frighteningly plausible near-future, A WINTER GRAVE is Peter May at his page-turning, passionate and provocative best.

A Winter Grave is a gripping page-turner!
You’ve got the freezing wintry weather the Highlands of Scotland has, that creates a treacherous journey and of course you have a body. This is different though. It is set in 2051. So much is a mess. Murders still happen and still ill prepared for what it has known is coming for decades – Global Warming! I like that this isn’t set in winter because people know about the world warming, especially since everyone is accustomed to the phrase – ‘global warming’. All the warnings of the decades previous have been ignored and continue to be.  shows that it doesn’t all mean sunshine.
In comes Detective Cameron Brodie from Glasgow. He has the skills it takes to go up to Kinlochleven and the know how to navigate, even the roughest of terrains in the Highlands, but this is the most dangerous of times, he’s ever had to face due to the harshest weather conditions, even far up north, Scotland has ever endured.

It is a book that is full of trepidation and is quite twisty too with secrets to unravel as Detective Cameron Brodie’s past comes back to haunt him, creating even more suspense and tension, and also, interestingly meaning you get a bit of back story to this character.

So, cosy up or allow it to make you feel cool, if your weather is hot and be enthralled by this eco-thriller/Scottish Noir that will have you turning each page fast, with its chillingly plausible warning.
