Scotland, Spring 1746. Set in the brutal aftermath of the battle of Culloden, The Striped Man is a haunting story of guilt, superstition, love and revenge. As warships scour the coast for Rebel fugitives, an English soldier is shipwrecked on a remote Hebridean island. Here he also becomes a fugitive, from his countrymen, from islanders bent on revenge, and from those that would help him. For Alan Gray is a man accursed and there is no escape from the past.
By melding history and folklore, S. Pitt has created a novel sometimes bleak, sometimes lyrical, but always compelling.
