Doktora Huntera sa udalosť dotkne nielen preto, že mladú ženu osobne poznal - bývalý londýnsky súdny antropológ sa už tri roky snaží zabudnúť na tragickú smrť svojich blízkych práve na vidieku. A tak vo chvíli, keď ho polícia požiada, aby jej pomohol vypátrať vraha, najprv odmietne, aby v sebe neoživil spomienky na bolestnú minulosť. V Manhame sa nájdu aj ďalšie znetvorené telá ľudí i zvierat. Dovtedy pokojnú dedinu ovládne nevraživosť, strach a panika. Tieň podozrenia padne aj na Davida Huntera.

Forensic expert Dr. David Hunter finds himself on a remote Scottish island, drawn into a chilling murder investigation after examining a set of human remains. Instead of being in London with the woman he loves, he is called to the Outer Hebrides to assist a beleaguered local cop. What he discovers is shocking: a woman's charred remains, burned beyond recognition in an unoccupied cottage. While local authorities lean towards an accidental death, Hunter’s analysis of the victim's skull reveals a sinister truth—she was murdered by someone from the island. As he delves deeper, the situation escalates when two more people die in fires. Hunter's expertise lies in coaxing the dead to share their stories, and as he begins to hear them, he uncovers a web of secrets within the tight-knit community of Runa. The investigation reveals the hidden resentments of a wealthy couple, the bitterness of an ex-cop, and the struggles of a lonely single mother. As Hunter peels back the layers of deception, the narrative unfolds into a tale of rage and perversion, culminating in a series of violent acts and shocking revelations.

The Calling of the Grave

"It was eight years ago that they found the body buried on the moor. They were certain that this was one of psychotic rapist and multiple murderer Jerome Monk's teenage victims. Which left just two more bodies to find. But the ill-conceived search ended badly. And with Monk safely behind bars, the momentum faltered. For forensics expert David Hunter, and those others who were part of the recovery team, life moved on. And the dead were were left undisturbed."--Publishers description.
