Description: "Leaving the grime of Victorian Edinburgh behind her, Rose McQuinn makes a long-anticipated journey to visit her sister Emily in Orkney. An archaeological team excavating a peat bog near Emily's home finds a body - could it be the thirteenth-century legendary Maid of Norway? It transpires that it is the corpse of a local woman, brutally murdered, and Rose realizes that she probably knows the identity of the murderer. Reluctantly, Rose has to investigate, though she is all too aware that she will destroy for ever the happiness of those closest to her."--Jacket.
