The Purified cover

The long-awaited sequel to 'Errant Blood' , a second crime thriller set in the Scottish Highland village of Duncul.  Eamon's new found happiness is shattered by the type of murder that the government doesn't want to believe happens anymore.  Detective Maclean thinks he has the killer, but something worse than a body has been found beneath the waters of The Minch, something that should never have been brought to the surface, and now its not just TV crews that are watching the village. 

"A high-octane thriller that sets off at speed and never relents until it reaches its conclusion, numerous entertaining twists and turns later"—Undiscovered Scotland


"C.F. Peterson has done it again. A story with global resonance in a deeply Scottish setting, full of big ideas though the action never stops, every individual in the huge ensemble clearly picked out and playing an essential part, THE PURIFIED is a joy from irresistible start to shattering finish." —Catriona McPherson


'The lavishly rendered Scottish landscape combines with an engrossing cast of characters to turn the spotlight on some important social issues, and political perspectives that teeter on extremism.'—Crime Fiction Lover
