Synopsis

This fast paced novel, set in the modern Scottish Highlands, is a thriller with faintly ghostly echoes. Recently retired from the Special Boat Service, James Gray is involved in seismic exploration of the sea bed. His training, experience and convoluted circumstance have led him back to his home, Fort William, at this time. He rapidly runs into difficulties in trying to launch his company. His situation is complicated by his passionate involvement with two disparate women. One, Alison Prentice, with whom he is staying, and the other a young reporter, Mairi MacKenzie who becomes deeply enmeshed with James and his company. In quick succession, fire-bombings, shootings, major bomb attacks and horrific road accidents draw James inexorably back into the world of violence, espionage and politics. The cast of characters widens to include strange senior police, old naval spymasters, active politicians and personnel from national and international organisations.
