Should be back in stock very soon
Beneath the smoothly civilised surface of the wealthy stalking party assembled for sport amid the wild grandeur of a Scottish deer forest, tensions are steadily ratcheting upwards.
Though the fishing and stalking are all they could wish, a lethal cocktail of sexual, social, and inheritance conflicts has combined to produce a highly dangerous situation in this untamed landscape where natural hazards threaten the unwary as much as man-made ones – and accidents don’t always happen by chance.
D.P. Hart-Davis’ fast-moving and sinister thriller is handled with aplomb by this experienced sporting author.
Unusual but gripping whodunnit…. A thoroughly entertaining read. Having picked it up, you will not be able to put it down until all is at last revealed. Just the thing to take with you to a Scottish sporting house party.
