'A truly memorable and exciting read' HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW

Banff, Scotland in the 1620s. A young man walks unsteadily through the streets. Is he just drunk or is there something more sinister happening? When he collapses in front of two sisters on that dark, wet night, the women guess that he's been poisoned.

His body is discovered in the house of Alexander Seaton - a fallen minister, the discovery of whose clandestine love affair has left him disgraced.

Why was the body in Seaton's house? And why would anyone want to murder this likeable young man? Seaton sets out to find answers, embarking on a journey not only through the darkest part of other men's souls, but also his own.

A must-read for fans of Rory Clements and SJ Parris.

Industry Reviews

An astonishingly accomplished first novel. A fine, rich, beautiful thriller that never loses sight of the heights to which the human soul can soar, even while it explores the depths to which envy, jealousy, hatred and greed can take it. A delight on all levels, literate, engaging and moving - Manda Scott

A rare accomplishment. It is what a period novel should be but rarely is ... transports you body and soul to another time and place. Read this on a beach in the Med and you'll still feel the chill bite of a North Sea wind blowing up a cobbled 17th century alleyway - Craig Russell

This engrossing, atmospheric novel is not just a satisfying, skilfully constructed mystery with richly developed characters. It is also the vivid evocation of a particular time and place by an author who is herself a historian specializing in 16th and 17th century Scotland. She has used her gifts to the full to create a truly memorable and exciting read - Historical Novels Review
