1869, Sutherland, Scotland.
For years the people of this remote area of the Highlands have lived a hard life. Now a local Gold Rush has attracted the Pan-European Mining Company to the area, and Solveig McCleery is determined to re-open the Brora mines and give the population the riches they deserve.
But when work starts, the body of a prospector is discovered and odd inscriptions are found on stones near the corpse. Before the meanings of these marks can be deciphered another body is discovered.
And from the Far North a man is making his way to Solveig's doorstep, his path of exile twisting him like the gold running through the rivers of Sutherland.
The first in the trilogy of Gray's richly researched historical crime series, The Scottish Mysteries, Deadly Prospects
will keep readers gripped to the very last page.
