The Heir to Pictavia
“He called himself a prince; there was someone he called his queen. He had a small statuette made to give to his Regina for Christmas: a woman sitting on a bench with a small boy sitting next to her. The woman had her arm around the boy’s shoulder and the boy was leaning with both hands on the bench, feet dangling above the ground and face turned towards the woman. There was an inscription on it: “Regina and her Prince of Pictavia”.
"Someone will be hurt when I tell her her prince is dead."
It’s the week before Christmas, when DS Ron Skene is called in to investigate the death of Ciniod Elphin, an English nineteen-year-old studying at Glasgow University. Right away Ron senses a link between himself and the victim. Ciniod’s death seems to trigger a chain of events, catapulting Ron out of the limbo he has been in for the past two years.
The first novel after my break following my course in Scottish history. I love it, but it needs a proper review. Ron is done an injustice.
