Third in the Stalker Trilogy, following on from 'The Hiring Fair'.
Seventeen years have passed and the Lanarkshire mining village of Blacklaw has weathered both depression and the driving ambition of its greedy coalmaster, Houston Lamont. But at last, falling wages have driven the miners to desperate rebellion . . .
In Edinburgh, Drew Stalker has become Scotland's most eminent young advocate, with the highest honours within his grasp. Only scandal can bring him down - and scandal, in the form of his bastard son, is about to re-enter his life. His sister Mirrin faces a different threat to her hard-won respectability. As Tom Armstrong's eyesight fails and both her marriage and her farm's future become uncertain, Mirrin must draw on all her courage to survive.
