When the body of a man in eighteenth-century Highland dress is discovered on the site of the Battle of Culloden, journalist Rebecca Connolly takes up the story for the Chronicle.
Meanwhile, a film being made about the โ45 Rebellion has enraged the right-wing group Spirit of the Gael which isconnected to a shadowy group called Black Dawn linked to death threats and fake anthrax deliveries to Downing Streetand Holyrood. When a second body โ this time in the Redcoat uniform of the government army โ is found in Inverness,Rebecca finds herself drawn ever deeper into the mystery. Are the murders connected to politics, a local gang war orsomething else entirely?
The Blood is Still is a follow up to Thunder Bay but can easily be read as a standalone. It is a completely new storyline, and whilst events that took place in Thunder Bay are referenced, the reader is always given enough information (but you should read Thunder Bay anyway because it's terrific).
