Val McDermid - The Distant Echo
25 years on, police review the unsolved murder of a young woman in the snow - but is the killing over? Stars Jimmy Chisholm.
Four students stumble upon the body of a dead girl, in the snow, late one night.
25 years later the police mount a 'cold case' review of the unsolved case, and the friends finally have an opportunity to clear their names once and for all.
Until one of them dies in a suspicious house fire, and another in a burglary gone bad.
It seems someone is still pursuing their own brand of justice.
If the remaining two are to avoid becoming the next victim, they need to find out what really happened back there in the snow, themselves.
