Chilling and electrifying, Beneath the Diamond Sky combines shrewd psychological insight with striking suspense. It is at once a moving tale of the risks of escapism, a terrifying literary adventure story,and a provocative political thriller precisely for our times. - Christopher Wakling is also the author of The Immortal Part.

Beneath the Abbey Wall
by A. D. ScottAS A DECADE OF CHANGE COMES TO A CLOSE, MURDER HITS CLOSE TO HOME IN A SMALL SCOTTISH TOWN. . . . On a dark, damp Sunday evening, a man taking a shortcut home sees a hand reaching out in supplication from a bundle of sacks. In an instant he knows something terrifying has happened. In the Highlands in the late 1950s, much of the local newspaper's success was due to Mrs. Smart, the no-nonsense office manager who kept everything and everyone in line. Her murder leaves her colleagues in shock and the Highland Gazette office in chaos.

As the staff of the Highland Gazette probes the crime, they uncover secrets deeply rooted in the past, and their friend's murder becomes the perfect fodder for strife and division in the town and between her colleagues.
