    "description": "<p>Still haunted by the historic murder of her parents, police officer Fiona MacLeish has been told by Police Scotland that she must take a break from the demands of a busy force. So she&rsquo;s returned to her remote childhood home in the Borders, where she grew up with her aunt. A place where nobody even knows she&rsquo;s in the police force. But when a terrifying storm cuts the small farming community off, and the bloodied body of one of her aunt&rsquo;s neighbours is found, she realises the very place she has gone to find peace may be far more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. And, as the rain hammers down and the flood waters rise, the killer who is moving amongst them is getting braver&hellip; If the killer finds out Fiona is really a police officer, she may be next. Has Fiona got what it takes to discover which of the trusted people in the tiny rural community is a murderer before they strike again?</p>",
