Myrgraven er den femte og frittstående boka om Karen Pirie, en mesterlig oppbygd og spennende historie som bekrefter Val McDermids posisjon på topp. Tre kan holde på en hemmelighet – om to av dem er dødeAlice Somerville og mannen hennes har reist til det skotske høylandet for å grave fram to verdifulle motorsykler, som bestefaren hennes stjal og gjemte der mot slutten av andre verdenskrig. Men idet de skal grave opp den andre sykkelen, graver de i stedet frem en mannsarm. En hel kropp blir til slutt funnet i myren. Først tror de at mannen har ligget begravet siden krigen, før de finner ut at mannen har på seg et par Nike joggesko. Mannen som er begravet viser seg å ha tilknytning til en annen historisk drapssak, og sannheten som avdekkes i etterforskningen er mer uhyggelig og omfattende enn Karen Pirie kunne forestille seg.
