"I'm minded of the way a fire spreads in dry bracken when we burn
it off the fellside: tongues of flame this way and that - 'tis
human tongues and words that's creeping like flames in brushwood."
It all began up at High Gimmerdale with the sheep-stealing, a
hateful act in the shepherding lands around the bend in the Lune
river - the Crook o' Lune. Then came the fire at Aikengill house
and with the leaping of the flames, death, disorder and dangerous
gossip came to the quiet moorlands. Visiting his friends, the
Hoggetts, while searching for some farmland to buy up ahead of his
retirement, Chief Inspector Robert Macdonald's trip becomes a
busman's holiday when he is drawn to investigate the deadly blaze
and the deep-rooted motives behind the rising spate of crimes.
Renowned for its authentic characters and settings based partly on
the author's own experiences of life in the Lune valley, E.C.R.
Lorac's classic rural mystery returns to print for the first time
since 1953.
