A brutal triple murder in a remote crofting community in 1869, when three people were slayed in Culduie, leads to the arrest of Roderick Macrae in His Bloody Project.
With only the powers of his advocate standing between Macrae and the gallows, it falls to the country’s fi nest legal and psychiatric minds to uncover what drove the young man to murder.
Macrae’s fate hangs on one question: is he insane? Cleverly recounted through the accused’s memoir, trial transcripts and newspaper reports, this thrilling novel is a riveting page-turner.
His Bloody Project, by Graeme Macrae Burnet, published by Contraband, £8.99.
