Description
Murray Watson's quiet life in university libraries researching writers seems worlds away from his current predicament. A mysterious writer, Archie Lunan, dead for thirty years, has led him to a remote island, where he finds himself knee-deep in the mud of an ancient burial ground. A winter storm rages around him, and at least one person is intent on his death. As Murray struggles to uncover the truth behind his presence on the island, he must confront the darkness that surrounds him. The past and present collide in a thrilling tale of mystery and suspense. Set against the rugged landscape of Lismore, this gripping novel explores the complexities of human nature and the power of secrets to shape our lives.
