As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Strong characters and a gripping plot move through well defined settings where paranoia and danger gather at the edges. The atmosphere is close and watchful, with the sense that every place holds its own threats, and that safety is never certain.
The story builds towards an exciting denouement with a surprising twist, set on Schiehallion, where the landscape itself becomes part of the final pressure. This edition also includes an introduction that offers guidance on reading the Scots in the book, with spelling made as straightforward as possible for readers used to English spelling conventions.
