The victim is identified as a young man from Nigeria, last seen in Lerwick just days prior. As DI Perez delves into this disturbing murder investigation, his search for a vulnerable young woman unexpectedly pulls him deeper, exposing a sinister and far-reaching web of human trafficking operating within Scotland’s isolated landscapes.
