For years it has haunted him, accompanied by the faces of those he could not save--the Burned Man, the Strangled Woman, the Drowned Boy. All witnesses to a secret he cannot share and a gift he now refuses to embrace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYou could have saved her. \u003c\/i\u003eThe refrain drives Angus to the seashore at dawn, where a girl lies on the unblemished sand. She wears a green cloak and cradles a \u003ci\u003ecorps creadha\u003c\/i\u003e, a Highland voodoo doll. She has suffered a ritualistic, three-fold death--her head bludgeoned, her throat cut, and symbolically drowned.\u003cbr\u003eIt is Faye Chichester, daughter of an American billionaire whose mission to reintroduce wolves to the Highlands has embroiled the village of Glenruig. But even as media and police swarm the area, that refrain--\u003ci\u003eyou could have saved her\u003c\/i\u003e--echoes in all Angus's thoughts. For he carries a burden, a blessing, a curse, a secret--\u003ci\u003edà-shealladh\u003c\/i\u003e, the second sight of Gaelic lore. \u003cbr\u003eGills MacMurdo, noted folklorist, academic, and Angus's oldest friend, confirms what the \u003ci\u003edà-shealladh\u003c\/i\u003e is warning. Just as Faye's death was three-fold, so must the murder victims fulfil the ancient pattern. More will die, unless Angus does what he must--close his eyes and see.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoss, Fulton:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Fulton Ross is a writer and journalist from the Scottish Highlands.
