Rush to Judgement
A woman is found hanging in the woods in a small Highland town.
A hearse crashes into an old church and is abandoned. The police find a coffin inside but the body isn't a recent death. It's the badly decomposed body of a girl who went missing 30 years ago.
DCI Harry McNeil is sent north to coordinate the hunt for a killer, along with colleagues from Glasgow.
The town plays host to the annual Christmas Land festival, and this year marks the 30th anniversary. With the festivities in full swing, it seems that somebody wants to draw attention to the town for a different reason.
With hundreds of tourists flocking to the area and only a few days left before Hogmanay, can Harry McNeil and Jimmy Dunbar capture a killer who is not only intent on bringing back the dead but adding fresh kills to his tally?
They're going to have to move fast. The clock is ticking, and a new year is fast approaching. Then everybody goes home. Including the killer....
