1 Janetta

In the far north of the Scottish Highlands, where the wind whispers through ruined crofts and ancient stones, Francesca "Chess" Beckett enjoys a quiet life of gardening, dog walks, and tea with friends. But when her endearing (and slightly dozy) English Pointer, Dannyboy, begins to react to things no one else can see-or hear-Chess realizes that something spectral may be stirring in the heathered hills.Bagpipe music drifts through the air with no source, old stones hold unsettling energy, and Dannyboy refuses to pass through a particular gate without protest. As a group of strangers are spotted near a nearby ruin and Dannyboy narrowly escapes a dog-napping, it becomes clear that someone-or something-is watching.With a close-knit circle of dog-loving friends, a pack of perceptive canines, and her unshakable bond with Dannyboy, Chess embarks on a heartfelt and haunting journey into the local history of lost lives, Highland Clearances, and a love that may have lasted beyond a lifetime.
