The Unnatural Death of a Jacobite

Set in Edinburgh in 1689. The body of a young lawyer is discovered near Craigleith Quarry. Was his killing related to a bitter office rivalry or his connections to criminals in the city or his political activity as a Jacobite? Meanwhile Bonnie Dundee is at the head of an army in the Highlands looking to crush the government forces and help restore James Stewart. MacKenzie and Scougall investigate.
