Shadows of the Past

A Moray Mystery

By: E.B. Harding

Narrated by: Emily McEff

Detective Inspector Fiona MacLeod thought she had left her troubled past behind when she returned to the quiet town of Forres. But when the body of a murdered journalist is discovered behind a local pub, Fiona is pulled into an investigation that is far too personal. The victim, Alan Reid, was once a trusted ally from her time on the Organized Crime squad in Aberdeen—someone who had tried to reach her the night he died.

As Fiona and her team dig deeper into Alan’s final investigation, they uncover a dangerous criminal network stretching from Aberdeen to the docks of Findhorn Bay. With tensions rising, Fiona enlists the help of Detective Derek Winter, a new but trusted colleague. Together, they must navigate the murky underworld of smuggling, betrayal, and long-buried secrets.

But as the case intensifies, Fiona is haunted by the guilt of missing Alan’s call—and the realization that she might have been able to prevent his death. The deeper she goes, the more she’s forced to confront her own past and the shadows that still linger.

Can Fiona unravel the web of deceit before the killers strike again? Or will the darkness of her past finally catch up with her?
