Synopsis
'A twisty mystery set on Mull, the island being a character in itself' Ian Rankin
'One of my favourite songwriters of all time' Irvine Welsh
'MacIntyre always writes with a clarity of style' The Scotsman
Burns Night, January 2000. In the early days of the new millennium, two burnt-out cars are discovered on a barren glen on the isle of Mull. Inside them, only teeth and bones.
Meanwhile, Ivor Punch is busy policing a protest when he meets a strange visitor purporting to be Robert Louis Stevenson, who speaks of an island that appears only twice a century. As smoke fills the air and bodies are discovered, Sergeant Punch searches for the crux of the mystery by looking to the past.
Amid peculiar forces at play, a freshly moored ferry full of curious characters and a Burns Night play to set the evening alight, he needs to decipher what is real or imagined - before the island falls into chaos.
The second book in The Mull Mysteries series from multi-award-winning author and musician, Colin MacIntyre, aka Mull Historical Society. And this time, for Sgt Ivor Punch, it's personal.
