Description
The Bookseller of Inverness explores themes of survival, identity, and the haunting shadows of history. Set in the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden, the protagonist, Iain MacGillivray, is thrust into a world of intrigue and danger.
The Plot
After narrowly escaping death by feigning his own demise among the fallen Jacobites, Iain finds solace in the quiet life of a bookseller in Inverness. However, his mundane existence is shattered when a mysterious stranger enters his shop, leaving behind an air of suspense and unspoken motives. When the stranger is discovered murdered the following day, Iain’s world spirals into chaos.
As he becomes embroiled in the investigation, Iain must confront the demons of his past while grappling with the consequences of his choices. The presence of a sword adorned with a white cockade signifies the deep-rooted connections to the Jacobite cause, intertwining history and personal struggle in a gripping narrative.
