Synopsis: A novel of spies and suspense in Cold War Scotland from a Diamond Dagger–winning author known for delivering &“immensely satisfying thrillers&” (Orlando Sentinel). William Blake Hazlitt is in hiding on Scotland&’s picturesque Isle of Skye, roughing it in a canvas tent and watching tourists from a distance through binoculars. His disappearance has not raised any alarms so far at the university where he works as an administrator. But Caroline Nevis, the young American student he&’s been seeing, is growing more concerned about his sudden, mysterious vacation. Now she&’s decided to investigate. What Caroline doesn&’t know is that Hazlitt has a secret—and that she&’s not the only one looking for him. She is about to engage in a dangerous race with both British and Soviet agents . . . &“Reginald Hill&’s stories must certainly be among the best now being written.&” —The Times Literary Supplement &“One of the best mystery writers around today.&” —Publishers Weekly
