Seven suspects for a murder

Crime
Mystery

Human law is powerless against nature.

Kinraddie, a windswept islet off the coast of Scotland. A harsh, remote land, wrapped in superstition and dark tales. That’s where the murder is supposed to happen—at least according to the anonymous note sent to Inspector William Shakespeare of Scotland Yard, famed for his unerring instinct.

But when he arrives, the inspector discovers he’s not the only outsider on the island: five other guests have checked into the remote Scottish Inn. Each of them has a reason for being there. Each of them is hiding something. But who will be the victim? And who, the killer?

  • A sophisticated, atmospheric mystery inspired by the great detective classics.
  • A chilling setting where nature takes centre stage, raising timeless questions about justice, guilt, and the primitive forces within us all.
