Journalist Willie Morton unravels a thirty-year old conspiracy over the 1985 death of Treasury mandarin Matthew McConnacher nineteen days after his report, claiming an independent Scotland could be economically viable, was classified.

Intrigued by the state's reluctance to declassify the report, he probes the mystery of McConnacher's death and learns of a power-grab at the heart of the Cameron government led by Commander Neil Smyth, chair of the National Security Committee - whom Morton has reason to fear - and a secret military deal with hardliners in Spain to crush Catalan nationalists.

With his intern Ysabet Santanac arrested in Barcelona, Morton is high on the hit list as deadly forces unleashed by London and Madrid converge to bury an inconvenient truth.

Billy Kay

Complex, interactive web of characters skilfully presented... enjoyable and satisfying thriller which I recommend to all who enjoy spy action stories.

Norma Miles, Vine Voice

Real page-turner... keeps up the tension throughout ...beautiful descriptions of Scottish landscapes and the theme is very relevant.

Lesley Riddoch

Readers will like it and Scott's point is well-made: on much that matters, we're too often told that we're not told for our own good.

Press & Journal

Riveting... rewarding and satisfying... tension-filled from start to finish... a complex, multi-layered novel that demands the reader's undivided attention to keep up with the fast pace... a gritty read that leaves you reeling... very impressive.

Dundee Courier

Entertaining conspiracy fiction.

David Clegg, Daily Record

A fast-moving novel... keeps you involved right to the end... a very good read.

This former press officer's debut mystery is a page-turner.
