Description
A building surveyor is found dead on the original furnace floor of the Ice Factor, Kinlochleven — nine metres below the upper inspection level, the railing above him intact, the alarm system showing no breach. Six people had authorised access to the building overnight. The scene shows nothing. DCI Sarah Lynch attends because the scene that shows nothing is the most dangerous scene of all. The Ice Factor is a Victorian aluminium smelter, a monument to a century of Highland industry, repurposed as an indoor climbing venue. Douglas Reith came to assess its shell for a heritage expansion. He left with more than survey notes. He found a gap in an archive, a name that disappeared from a staff roster, a death record that had been corrected. He sent an email on Sunday evening to a man who had been asking about his uncle for twenty-five years. On Tuesday morning, he was dead. Sarah works the access list. Six names, a locked alarm log, and a motive that takes twelve weeks to surface. The first theory is coherent. It is wrong. The truth is older than the venue, buried in a document archive behind a heritage display panel, waiting for a careful man to read between the entries. Cold, precise, and atmospherically dark, The Smelter is the eighteenth book in the Detective Sarah Lynch series — Highland noir at its most methodical, set in one of Scotland's most striking post-industrial landscapes.
