Three plots converge in an isolated location in Scotland:
1. A man washes up on the seashore with no memory of who he is, what he does, or how and where he got the gash on his forehead;
2. Karen, a lonely 17-year-old in Edinburgh continues to mourn her father's suicide two years ago and feel, somehow, responsible for it. If only her last words to him hadn't been "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!";
3. Detective George Gunn investigates the murder of a man who's body is found at a lonely and hard-to-reach lighthouse on an island located twenty miles out in the Outer Hebrides.
Loaded with tons of Scottish atmosphere, this book hooked me from the beginning and kept me reading. I was anxious for the mystery man, felt sorry for troubled Karen, and enjoyed the solution to the mystery.
The author is new to me but I will go back to read some of his other mysteries.
