A gripping historical thriller set in Inverness after the famous
battle of Culloden. Perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom, Robert
Harris, Andrew Taylor, and Outlander. 'This slice of historical
fiction takes you on a wild ride' THE TIMES After Culloden, Iain
MacGillivray Is left for dead on the battlefield. Severely wounded,
his face brutally slashed, he survived by pretending to be dead as
the Redcoats patrolled the corpses of his Jacobite comrades. Six
years later, with the clan chiefs routed and the Highlands under
British rule, Iain keeps a bookshop in Inverness. One day a
stranger enters. He is searching for something but refuses to say
what. Eventually he leaves when Iain locks up for the night. Next
morning Iain finds the stranger dead, his throat cut, and the
murder weapon beside him - a sword with a white cockade on its
hilt, the emblem of the Jacobites. With no sign of the killer, Iain
wonders whether the stranger discovered what he was looking for -
and paid for it with his life. He soon finds himself embroiled in a
web of deceit and a series of old scores to be settled in the ashes
of war. PRAISE FOR THE BOOKSELLER OF INVERNESS 'Fresh and
intriguing . . . Her best yet' ANDREW TAYLOR 'Everything you could
ask for from a historical thriller' ANTONIA HODGSON 'An intricately
wrought, compulsively page-turning tale' CRAIG RUSSELL 'A first

fast paced, twisting and turning' 5* READER REVIEW
