‘The crime czar of the Scottish small town!’ Val McDermid
‘When you lift a stone, dark creatures, safely hidden before, panic in the light of day . . . someone out there would become desperate to stop her finding the truth. She had to move fast.’
The young victim had been pregnant, her body washed up on the rocks. Twenty years on the murder remains unsolved; her father is now dead, and her mother refuses to talk about what went on all those years ago.
DI Marjory Fleming is called in to reopen the case that her late father, a policeman, was unable to put to rest. As Fleming digs deeper it becomes clear that her father had struggled to keep secret some of the shameful details around the young girl’s death.
Can she handle the truth she will unearth, not just about her father but about herself?

Praise for Aline Templeton's Marjory Fleming series
'Loved it'
An unalloyed pleasure - an intelligent, character-driven crime novel.
'Skilfully plotted and well-paced . . . This book is a delight, from its leisurely start to the moving and unexpected finish.'
'Interesting, atmospheric and - I predict - televisual'
'It is always a pleasure to read Aline Templeton, but THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP must surely be her best book to date. Aline's characters are so beautifully drawn . . .'
A compelling read.
[Aline Templeton] has demonstrated that, just when we thought Scotland was saturated with detectives, a strong woman can elbow her way in and find a unique niche.
