Burns Night, January 2000. In the early days of the new millennium, two burnt-out cars are discovered on a barren glen on the Isle of Mull. Inside them, only teeth and bones.

Meanwhile, Ivor Punch is busy policing a protest when he meets a strange visitor purporting to be Robert Louis Stevenson, who speaks of an island that appears only twice a century. As smoke fills the air and bodies are discovered, Sergeant Punch searches for the crux of the mystery by looking to the past.

Amid peculiar forces at play, a freshly moored ferry full of curious characters and a Burns Night play to set the evening alight, Punch needs to decipher what is real or imagined - before the island falls into chaos.

From multi-award-winning author and musician, Colin MacIntyre, aka Mull Historical Society.
