On cold clear moonlit night in late October DCI Kelso Strang stepped outside the bothy on
Suilven and heard faint but unmistakable the howl of a wolf. An unsettling sound but it isnt
the only unsettling thing about the remote township of Inverbeg in Sutherland where hes taking
a break with an old army friend.Sean Reynolds is obsessive about rewilding his Auchinglass
estate and there are rumours that hes taken illicit steps to hurry that on to the anger of the
local farmers. But there are other tensions too.An elderly lady had died some months before
officially in a tragic stumble off a cliff path on her way home from the pub. But she was a
woman burdened with many secrets and guilt for sins of her own and her closest friend believes
her death was not accident but retribution.
