Greater Sins by Gabrielle Griffiths (Paperback)

1915, the Cabrach. In the fierce, wild beauty of this remote corner of Scotland, an isolated community makes a discovery: an ancient body in a peat bog, perfectly preserved.

Two people haul the body from the ground: Lizzie, the wife of a wealthy local landowner, and Johnny, a nomadic singer and farm hand.

Soon afterwards, strange events begin to occur. At hearthside and inn, people whisper: what have we unearthed?

As tensions run high and men leave for war, old fears and secrets emerge. But in a place where judgement is swift, who is truly without sin?

A haunting, atmospheric literary debut, for fans of Elmet and Burial Rites. The preserved body of a woman is discovered in a bog near an isolated Scottish community - but is the body an omen of misfortune to come, or a story waiting to be told...
