Synopsis

Professor Murray Watson is rather a sad sack. His family, his career, his affair...not even drinking offers much joy. All his energies are now focused on his research into Archie Lunan, a minor poet who drowned 30 years ago off a remote stretch of Scottish coast. By redeeming Lunan's reputation, Watson hopes to redeem his own. But the more he learns about Lunan's sordid life, the more unlikely redemption appears.

'A fine balance between the urban universities and the desolately remote Scottish Islands, creates an evocative setting for a brooding mixture of betrayal, darkness and secrets.'
--Waterstone's Books Quarterly
