A twist on the tale of embittered veteran cop taking on shady forces and murder whilst dealing with the harsh elements of a future that has thrown Scotland into a much colder climate. The following day, with the assistance of the local cop, as well as Cameron, Dr Roy performed the autopsy of Mr Younger.

A good read but I think it was more about me not getting absorbed by the novel than it not been a good book.A Winter Grave is the latest standalone thriller by prolific author Peter May, and it was intense, gritty, fast-paced and chilling (in both senses of the word! What I loved about Peter May’s latest novel is the characters hat really bring a personal touch to the plot especially when it comes to DI Cameron Brodie and Addie Sinclair and Cameron now needs to tell her who he really is. While he digests this he is dispatched off to Kinlochleven in the Scottish Highlands, in an e-chopper and freshly kitted out with all singing and dancing James Bond style glasses.

On a Scottish mountain Addie is checking the weather station the weather station for the latest readings. Set against a backdrop of a frighteningly plausible near-future, A WINTER GRAVE is Peter May at his page-turning, passionate and provocative best.If this was not enough to cause despair, he has learned that he has only six months, perhaps less, to live. I don't know how much they could hear, or why they would want to, but they ran off through the snow when I went after them with my torch.

DI Cameron Brodie from the Glasgow police force and pathologist Dr Sita Roy are sent to Kinlochleven to investigate. Glasgow Police DI Cameron Brodie, fresh from failing to get murder conviction due to technical complications, rejects his DCI’s request to accompany the pathologist to perform a post mortem on Younger, and, noting his expertise in hill walking, examine the scene. Younger’s body has been kept in a refrigerated cabinet of a local hotel, and pathologist Dr Sita Roy, has uncovered some very interesting facts about him, something which puts herself and Brodie in danger. There’s even a role for future technology the prospect of which might either thrill you or appall you depending on how you feel about flying in a pilotless plane or living in a 3D printed home.There is enough here to keep you really guessing as to what really is going on and who is behind the murders and why.
