Entrapment

Detective inspector Jack Drummond has returned to work in Inverness after a Not Proven verdict saved him from being convicted of murdering his missing girlfriend, Saffron Dunbar. Her wealthy family, and many of Drummond's police colleagues, still believe he is guilty. He has to find his ex-girlfriend if he is to prove his innocence once and for all.

On his first day back on duty a woman's body is found at a place of spiritual healing. Drummond's senior officer, DCI Gavin Fraser, insists he stays away from the enquiry, but Drummond has an odd feeling about it.

Defying his boss's instructions he goes to the crime scene. Gazing down on the body, his heart lurches at the sight of the long, flame coloured hair. The woman looks just like Saffron. Why is she here, and less than a mile from Eastermains, Saffron's family home?

Was someone playing games with his head, leading him to those inevitable interviews with Saffron's parents, farmer Murdo Dunbar and his wife, Rosemary?

Despite Gavin Fraser's instructions to stay away from the investigation he knows this is one murder he cannot ignore.

Either he is being set up again for a crime he didn't commit, or he's being given the chance to prove his innocence.

But he can't do it alone. He needs the wise counsel of his friend, DS Nick Rougvie. They will investigate this one together.
