Tha rathad cnapach ann eadar Port Rìgh is Slèite! Those had been Auntie Lynne’s parting words. It’s a bumpy road between Portree and Sleat. Obviously a Gaelic phrase. Robert pondered its meaning as he steered his Bonnie south. Whether it meant the many potholes that you had to watch out for if you didn’t want to fly off the bike. It had been a fun evening with Auntie Lynne, and he was resolved to visit her more often. Apart from him, she hardly had any family left in Scotland. But he couldn’t get that moment in the graveyard out of his mind. She had sounded so clear, so determined, predicting a death.

Against this haunting backdrop, our protagonists navigate a web of deceit and betrayal, uncovering long-buried truths that threaten to shatter the lives of the people in this remote corner of Scotland.
