Set in the desolate landscapes of Caithness in 1871, this atmospheric ghost story follows cartographer Robert Sutherland as he recovers from a near-fatal accident and encounters eerie visions and unsettling events at Leask House. As the mysteries deepen, he begins to suspect that his presence may be no coincidence, and that supernatural forces might be keeping him there. Praised for its haunting, gothic atmosphere, the story is the first in a compelling quartet of Scottish ghost tales.
