    ¡Ninguna tumba es lo suficientemente profunda para la verdad! Una mohorra en las Tierras Altas de Escocia se convierte en el quinto caso sin resolver para la DCI Karen Pirie. La búsqueda del misterioso legado de su abuelo lleva a una joven inglesa a las Highlands, donde encuentra un lugar en el pantano en un mapa provisional. Allí descubre una motocicleta americana bien conservada de 1944, así como un cadáver masculino que es claramente más joven. La DCI Karen Pirie, especializada en casos sin resolver, está en la zona por otro caso, pero el muerto en el pantano no le da paz. Lleva unas zapatillas Nike especiales, un modelo personalizado de 1995, y claramente no ha muerto de causas naturales. Con la carismática y tenaz Karen Pirie, la autora británica Val McDermid ha creado una comisaria que se adentra en un caso sin resolver con más determinación a medida que el enigma se vuelve más complicado.
