The Hollow Tree

When her best friend's wedding in the mountains of Argyll ends in tragedy, reporter Shona Sandison is drawn into a mystery decades in the making. As she unravels the deadly secret that binds a group of friends, Shona discovers a hidden crime in a rural town that links a missing teen, a sinister political elite and an occult plot.

Investigative journalist Shona Sandison is attending the wedding of her closest friend and former colleague, Vivienne. However, the night before the wedding, Vivienne's reclusive school friend, Dan, jumps from a roof to his death. Shona is the only witness to the suicide, and thus the only person who saw the occult tattoos covering Dan's body and heard the unsettling, mystical phrases he was uttering.

Compelled to look further into the tragic incident, Shona embarks on a quest to discover why Dan killed himself and what happened to Vivienne's missing brother 20 years prior. Despite knowing that investigating Viv's family could mean she loses her friend forever, Shona travels to a small, forgotten town in the north of England. There, she investigates an insular group of classmates who have harboured a dark secret for decades.

Haunting and hypnotic, The Hollow Tree is a return to Philip Miller's dark world of subterfuge, betrayal, and fragile justice.
