A Darker Domain by Val McDermid

In Scotland, a cold-case detective reopens two intertwined mysteries from the 1980s—the disappearance of a miner during the bitter strike and the kidnapping of a young heiress and her baby. Fresh clues, including a discovery in a Tuscan villa by an ambitious journalist, unravel long-buried secrets of loyalty, class struggle, and betrayal. As past and present collide, the investigation exposes how personal vendettas and corporate power distorted the truth, revealing unexpected survivors, hidden identities, and the devastating costs of silence.
