The Redemption of Reverend McKinney

Some wounds are hard to heal, and for Catherine Westwater, the mere sight of young Drew McKinney reopens a painful memory. As a young boy, he shrugs off her disdain for him, but when he goes off to seminary and learns the truth about her past, he is wary of her. Upon his return to Glasgow, his suspicions about her increase when he finds his only love, Mairi, has been wooed away by Westwater's alcoholic son, Jaime. When his best friend is killed, Drew is certain that Catherine is to blame.
Together with his own abilities to tell a lie from the truth and the newly emerging practice of criminalistics(early forensic gatherings)by the Glasgow Police Department, Drew sets out to see her pay for her actions. It is only then that he learns the truth about her reason for hating him.
