Readers who enjoyed Taran’s Wheel, a P&J book of the week in August, will been keen to get their hands on the second novel in the Incomers series by Aberdeen native, Jim Forbes.
Once again blending history and mythology with a topical thriller, Scotch and Water is set in post-referendum Scotland, this time mainly in and around Edinburgh.
A violent ultra-nationalist group plots mayhem in the wake of the historic “no” vote to independence. This and other goings-on, including murder, council corruption and the discovery of cryptic 19th-century writings, combine in a web of political and terrorist intrigue linked to a mysterious relic of the incomers who gave us the Scots language.
