A rifle explodes on a Highland hillside. Todd Brennan, an American oil executive, paying fifteen thousand pounds for a week's stalking, dies instantly. The ghillie beside him survives by inches.
DCI Sarah Lynch arrives at Glen Rua Estate to find a murder disguised as a tragic accident. Someone filed the rifle barrel, weakening the metal until it would shatter on firing. Someone with knowledge, access, and patience.
The head ghillie had motive — four generations of his family served this land, and Todd was buying it from under them. Sarah builds her case and arrests her man, but she gets it wrong.
When a firearms expert demolishes her theory, the investigation pivots on a single devastating discovery: the sabotaged rifle was never meant for Todd Brennan. It was meant for the ghillie himself.
The wrong man is dead. The real target is alive. And the killer is still on the estate.
Set against the cold beauty of the Scottish Highlands in October, The Stalker's Path is a dark, atmospheric thriller about old resentments, dangerous silence, and an innocent man destroyed by someone else's rage.
Genre: Mystery
