Product Description
Synopsis
The ghastly figure on the gibbet stood black against the sky. In the high winds, the bones, wired together, rattled as though in a macabre dance of death. Local people, forced by necessity to go to and fro on the Ballachulish ferry, shuddered and looked away. Many of them thought "there but for the grace of God go I". Most felt a deep sorrow for the dead man, James Stewart of the Glen. A good man, neither he nor Colin Campbell of Glenure had deserved such horrible deaths. During their lifetime the two men had been neighbours and friends, so how did James Stewart come to be hanged for the murder of Colin Campbell? The answer lies partly in the long-running feud between the Campbells and the Stewarts, the roots of which are buried deep in the past. It is into the depth of this clan feud that Mary McGrigor plunges to investigate one of the most fascinating yet virtually ignored Scottish mysteries. One of the most startling and controversial conclusions in her research into this political puzzle is that not only did the real murderer evade capture and death, but that his status as the son of one of Scotland's most illustrious heroes has allowed him, until now, to avoid even the shadow of suspicion.
