The Dancing Horse

Two journalists hunt for a killer and stumble into an even bigger mystery: "The writer par excellence of Scottish thrillers" (Western Independent). London sportswriter Donald Grant has been asked by his boss, the news editor, to help him investigate a murder. It's not Grant's usual beat, but he can't say no to a fellow Scotsman—especially since his boss senses that the roots of the crime go all the way to Kintyre. As the two head north to Scotland, they have no idea the trail will lead them to a recently built high-security atomic center—and a quiet, secluded community that harbors many secrets. And when a scientist from the plant is found hanged, they discover they may be chasing a very dangerous story.
