"Cara!" Mr. Wilkinson stood on the jetty looking out at the long,
low shadow of the island, dark against the setting sun. "A
beautiful place, and a beautiful name." "It's the Gaelic word for a
corpse." From the dramatic Highlands to bustling cities and remote
islands in wild seas, the unique landscapes and locales of Scotland
have enthralled and shaped generations of mystery writers. This new
collection presents seventeen classic stories, spanning a period
from the 1880s to the 1970s, by a host of Scottish authors
alongside writers from south of the border inspired by the history
and majesty of the storied country. Featuring vintage tales by
Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson and Baroness Orczy
together with mid-twentieth-century mini-masterpieces by Margot
Bennett, Michael Innes and Cyril Hare, this anthology also includes
a rare Josephine Tey short story, reprinted for the first time
since 1930.
