The Distant Echo by Val McDermid

Wow. This was so good it kept me up til 2am three nights in a row!

Gilly, Weird, Ziggy and Mondo have been friends and since highshool in Kirkcaldy. Now living together in St Andrews while they attend the university, an evening at the pub takes a nasty turn when they take a short cut past the cemetery and stumble across a dying woman instantly becoming prime suspects (and social pariahs).

25 years later, the crime remains unsolved but when the cold case team starts digging in to it again, the four friends lives are turned upside down all over again. Could one of them really have done it and kept it a secret for all those years?
