Product Description
An Island Burning
Author: Colin MacIntyre
Format: Paperback
'Warm, funny and beguiling, authentically infused with salt spray and whisky fumes' - Chris Brookmyre 'Vivid and exciting . . . a gripping read' - Alexander McCall Smith Burns Night, January 2000. In the early days of the new millennium, two burnt-out cars are discovered on a barren glen on the Isle of Mull.
Inside them, only teeth and bones. Meanwhile, Ivor Punch is busy policing a protest when he meets a strange visitor purporting to be Robert Louis Stevenson, who speaks of an island that appears only twice a century.
As smoke fills the air and bodies are discovered, Sergeant Punch searches for the crux of the mystery by looking to the past. Amid peculiar forces at play, a freshly moored ferry full of curious characters and a Burns Night play to set the evening alight, Punch needs to decipher what is real or imagined - before the island falls into chaos.
From multi-award-winning author and musician, Colin MacIntyre, aka Mull Historical Society. Praise for Colin MacIntyre 'A twisty mystery set on Mull, the island being a character in itself' Ian Rankin 'One of my favourite songwriters of all time' Irvine Welsh 'MacIntyre always writes with a clarity of style' The Scotsman
