A Blood is Still by Douglas Skelton (Polygon, 2020)
This is a gripping sequel to Thunder Bay (a novel which Douglas came to talk to us about at BOOKMARK last year.) The sense of place (this time Culloden) and character (his investigative journalist Rebecca Connolly just one of a rich cast of entirely believable people) are just as evocative and his sure sense of story-telling will have you hooked from page one. We wish Douglas every success.
