When the body of a man in eighteenth-century Highland dress is discovered on the site of the Battle of Culloden journalist Rebecca Connolly takes up the story for the Chronicle. Meanwhile a film being made about the '45 Rebellion has enraged the right-wing group Spirit of the Gael which is connected to a shadowy group called Black Dawn linked to death threats and fake anthrax deliveries to Downing Street and Holyrood. When a second body - this time in the Redcoat uniform of the government army - is found in Inverness Rebecca finds herself drawn ever deeper into the mystery. Are the murders connected to politics a local gang war or something else entirely?
