Description
"Cara!" Mr. Wilkinson stood on the jetty looking out at the long, low shadow of the island, dark against the setting sun. "A beautiful place, and a beautiful name."
"It's the Gaelic word for a corpse."
From the dramatic Highlands to bustling cities and remote islands in wild seas, the unique landscapes and locales of Scotland have enthralled and shaped generations of mystery writers.
This new collection presents seventeen classic stories, spanning a period from the 1880s to the 1970s, by a host of Scottish authors alongside writers from south of the border inspired by the history and majesty of the storied country.
Featuring vintage tales by Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Baroness Orczy together with mid-twentieth-century mini-masterpieces by Margot Bennett, Michael Innes, and Cyril Hare, this anthology also includes a rare Josephine Tey short story, reprinted for the first time since 1930.
