A high stakes game of espionage in the best traditions of The Thirty-Nine Steps. Spring 1912. Trainee solicitor, Alexander Templeman, boards the night-train north from London, feeling guilty at having left it so long since he last visited his godparents in the lowland hills of Scotland. Little does he know that his journey is taking him to the most terrifying experience of his life. But when the challenge comes, will the inexperienced young man be up to the job or will he succumb to an unrelenting struggle with a cunning foe, that has as it's prize not only his own life but the very future of the country he adores? Purchase your copy now, sit back in front of a blazing fire and lose yourself in a story strongly flavoured with period details, marvellous characters and a fast-paced plot.
