A referendum on Scottish independence is only days away, and the campaign has been expertly orchestrated by First Minister Susan Ward. All signs point to victory for the nationalists. But when senior civil servant John Millar is shot in a Glasgow alley on a furiously rain-soaked night, his death triggers a chain of catastrophic events. An incriminating phone number and video are found in his possession.

Into this chaos walks reporter Fulton Mackenzie. A man himself blighted by tragedy but also someone used to seeing beneath the surface to find the truth. Who was John Millar? Who wanted him dead? And why? And the biggest question of all-who is trying to alter the future path of an entire nation?

I enjoyed the storyteller and the interesting accent, and it was just a different story.

Something interesting from a different part of the world than I live in.

This book was recommended by a mystery author I like (but I don't recall which one). It is the first novel by a Scottish journalist. The story was interesting, multi-layered, and well developed. It kept me engaged to the end. It is a combination murder mystery/political thriller. The narration was good and effectively captured multiple character's voices.

A Good First Novel
