About This Book

A London detective is called to a Scottish estate after a distressed woman reports worrying changes in her household. He confronts strained family dynamics, bizarre accidents, and a double tragedy, then follows a trail of perplexing clues—boots, masked figures, and an enigmatic singing wheel—that point to concealed motives and mechanical deception. The investigation combines forensic detail and interviews with intimate revelations about inheritance and loyalty, culminating in a surprising dénouement that explains both the crimes and the household secret while several secondary players complicate the path to truth.
