In 1829, disillusioned young doctor, Mungo Lyon, is recruited by the Crown to investigate a mysterious murder and shipwreck off the coast of Scotland. His adventures lead him on a pursuit across the Scottish countryside, to kidnap and treason, an unwanted trip to the West Indies, an insurrection and love.
“This is a colourful and fascinating story - the first of what I hope will be many adventures penned by the talented Mr O'Rourke.” ALEXANDER MCCALL SMITH
