Scottish mystery romance
In the late 1930s, to the remote Scottish Isle of Cairnmor comes a stranger on a quest to solve the mysterious disappearance of two people and their unborn child - the heirs to an unclaimed ship-building fortune. The stranger enlists the help of a local schoolteacher and together they seek the answers to this enigma as well as their own joint destiny. This first novel in the Cairnmor Trilogy moves between the rugged rural isle itself, a quiet country mansion in Oxfordshire, the industrial yards of the Clyde, and the chambers of London lawyers with a climax in the House of Lords.
