Amid civil unrest in the year 1297, human remains are discovered between the tower walls of an English castle in the Scottish lowlands. Kyle Shaw, deputy to the sheriff of Ayrshire, seeks to identify the victim and find out who sealed him up behind the brickwork twenty years earlier. Surely someone connected with the resident family killed him or knows who did.

The year is 1297, a time of strife and dissension in English-occupied Scotland. Kyle Shaw, deputy to the sheriff of Ayrshire, is on the scene when the body of an English nobleman is pulled from the River Ayr. The drowning appears to be accidental, until a sprig of mistletoe in the dead man's throat points to murder. Because such a plant is reputed to possess powers of an arcane nature, suspicion falls on a dreaded sect whose members in ancient times performed rituals that included human sacrifice.

From the UK's leading criminologist comes the true story of Margaret McLaughlin, and the man he believes was fitted up for her murder 'Enthralling ... will leave true crime readers with more to ponder than they bargained for' - The Herald Before David Wilson became the UK's pre-eminent criminologist, he was just a young boy growing up in the Scottish town of Carluke. When he was a child, the brutal murder of a young woman rocked this small community, but very quickly a man was arrested for the crime, convicted and put behind bars. For most, life slowly carried on - case closed. But there were whispers in the town that the wrong man was imprisoned. Over the years, these whispers grew louder, to the point that any time David would visit, he'd be asked in hushed tones, 'What are you going to do about the Carluke Case?' Carluke believed the real killer had evaded justice. A murderer was still on the loose. Forty years later, it's time for David to return home, and find out the truth.

One of the reasons the horror of the Portencross Murder endures in the public imagination to this day, is the notion that we too might be sitting in our living room on a peaceful Saturday evening when bullets come raining through our window, shot by an unknown assailant for no known reason. In 1913, this is what happened to Alexander McLaren, his wife Jessie, and her younger sister Mary Gunn. The unfortunate Mary died instantly from a shot to the heart, whilst the other two occupants of that tiny room in a remote cottage, were wounded. The murderer or motive was never discovered, until now. Stephen Brown, West Kilbride local historian, has investigated the crime using records from all the newspapers, including the detailed reports from the local Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald. He believes he has finally found a solution as to who shot the revolver that killed Mary Gunn, and why. In this book he argues that the local police were inadvertently mislead by Alexander McLaren to look for a very specific individual who was actually innocent, and by the time they realised, the real murderer had hidden almost every piece of evidence linking them to the crime. The author details the case from the reports of all the newspapers and revisits the scene of the crime as detailed in the local paper. From this contemporary evidence he has proposed a new theory of who the murderer was, and why they shot the three occupants of the tiny living room in a remote Portencross cottage.
