Locked down in a pandemic, living in a rural backwater in the Highlands of Scotland, three neighbours have discovered a secret fortune which could change their lives. They would never have chosen to share this secret – or the fortune – with each other, but circumstances conspire to bring them together. Now they must decide what to do. Can they trust each other? Are they really what they seem?
A young police detective is hunting for a case of missing cash, last traced to the wilds of Strathavie. It’s not a safe hoard: in fact, it belongs to a drug cartel. Will he find the money before someone gets hurt? Or are two local deaths already a consequence of the missing cash?
The twists and turns of this mystery novella will keep you guessing, and fundamental questions provoke thought about human nature: about right and wrong; the relevance – or irrelevance – of God; about personal conscience and behaviour. Ultimately, the question you face is:
How far would you go if no one was looking?
