Publisher's Summary
“[A]n exquisitely executed, great Gothic slow-burn that will keep you thinking and guessing long after you’ve reached the end.”—Louisa Luna, author of Tell Me Who You Are
Eilean Eadar is a barren, windswept rock best known for the unsolved mystery of the three lighthouse keepers who vanished back in 1919. But when a young man is found dead at the base of that same lighthouse, two detective inspectors are sent from Glasgow to investigate.
Georgina “George” Lennox is happy to be back from leave after a devastating accident. That is, until she meets the hostile islanders and their enigmatic priest, who seem determined to thwart their investigation. George’s partner, Richie, just wants to close the case and head home to his family. But he hasn’t heard the wolves howling or seen the dark figures at their window at night. He’s too busy watching George as if waiting for her to break.
With the dark secrets of the island swirling around them, George and Richie must decide who to trust and what to believe as they spin closer to the terrible truth. Laced with Scottish legend yet sharp and modern in voice, The Wolf Tree announces a spellbinding new voice in crime and mystery fiction.
What the critics say
“The Wolf Tree is an exquisitely executed tale. Laura McCluskey’s debut is a great gothic slow-burn that will keep you thinking and guessing even after you’ve reached the end.”—Louisa Luna, author of Tell Me Who You Are
“Laura McCluskey’s The Wolf Tree is a spooky delight. When Georgina ‘George’ Lennox comes to the Scottish island of Eadar, she’s barely recovered from a devastating accident at work and eager to investigate an apparent suicide. What happens next on the barren rock surrounded by the North Atlantic brings George face to face with a primal force she could never have anticipated. Smart, deliciously creepy and simply pitch-perfect–I tore this through this spectacular debut!”—Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Creek
