Obsession, accusation and a murderous plot culminate in this brand-new gripping historical thriller by Bloody Scotland co-founder Gordon Brown, writing as Morgan Cry.
'Morgan Cry is a splendid storyteller' The Scotsman
SOMETHING EVIL IS AFOOT . . .
A COUNTRY ABLAZE WITH FEAR
Scotland, 1662. Accused of witchcraft, Jonet and her lover Malcolm flee across a land ruled by fear and superstition. Their path through the Scottish mainland holds peril and an unexpected rescue mission.
A WOMAN IN DANGER
Reaching Dundee they're granted sanctuary by Sir George Mackenzie, a smart advocate who has defended witches, only to find him facing a crisis of his own. His secret lover Margaret has been abducted by his nemeses, the unscrupulous Blair brothers, and they are claiming she's a witch!
A MURDEROUS PLOT IN THE MAKING
Is this personal revenge on Sir George or are darker machinations at play? With time running out, Sir George and his loyal allies set out to uncover the chilling truth - a truth that could alter the course of history in its entirety . . .
An intricately plotted and twisty historical thriller based on the real-life seventeenth-century lawyer Sir George Mackenzie - perfect for fans of S. J. PARRIS, ANDREW TAYLOR and JOHN PILKINGTON.
Gordon Brown, also writing as Morgan Cry, has thirteen crime and thriller books published to date, along with a novella and a number of short stories. He is the author of the Blake Glover Crime Novels, including The Fracture and The Cost.
Gordon is a founding director of Bloody Scotland, Scotland's International Crime Writing Festival. He lives in Scotland (and when Brexit rules allow, Spain) and is married with two children - who have long since flown the nest.
In a former life Gordon delivered pizzas in Toronto, sold non-alcoholic beer in the Middle East, launched a creativity training business, floated a high-tech company on the London Stock Exchange, compered the main stage at a two-day music festival and was once booed by 49,000 people while on the pitch at a major football Cup Final.
