The Darkness Within

‘MASTER OF CRIME’ THE TIMES

1906. The Faro family gather in Orkney to support grieving widow Emily, but their attention is caught by strange activity aboard the royal yacht anchored nearby. When a body is washed ashore, neither Faro nor his daughter Rose McQuinn can resist the mystery unravelling on the island coastline.

As they delve deeper, Lammastide breathes sinister life into the ancient selkie legend with unexplained accidents and brutal attacks. When shocking truths are uncovered about loyal and trusted servants, Faro and Rose quickly realise the lives of more than one member of their family might be in danger – and time is running out for them.
