'The Hollow Mountain is possibly the best yet' - S.G. MacLean The Tunnel Tigers were an elite group of construction workers who specialised in a lucrative but hazardous profession blasting tunnels through mountains and under rivers, in dangerous conditions few men could endure.





Alice Larkin, the headstrong daughter of a millionaire and former news reporter, claims her lover, a Tunnel Tiger, died in mysterious circumstances many years ago, and she wants journalist Rebecca Connolly to investigate.





Intrigued, Rebecca throws herself into investigating the story, but she soon comes face to face with an old adversary. Family legacies and influential reputations are at stake and danger is shockingly close to home.

Recenzijos

'Douglas Skeltons Rebecca Connolly novels paint a picture of modern Scotland that is completely recognisable. Gritty without being gory, funny, clever, and moving, The Hollow Mountain is possibly the best yet' -- S.G. MacLean 'a superbly crafted Scottish thriller... The two strands of the story, separated in time by six decades, weave together beautifully as the book builds towards its shocking climax' -- Ken Lussey * Undiscovered Scotland * 'A beautifully-written, subtly-unfolding tale of deceit and murder' -- Caro Ramsay 'The hallmark of any successful novel is when you immediately surrender yourself to the world in which the characters reside. In this sixth instalment, I did just that... utterly absorbing' * Scottish Field * 'Skelton has delivered a shocking, brutal and yet gloriously well-written book which speaks to human nature and the pursuit of justice in a flawed and dangerous world' -- Mary Picken * Live and Deadly Reviews * 'the latest in Douglas Skeltons successful Rebecca Connolly series... the quest for information rapidly becomes dangerous in a toxic Scotland where the Far Right is on the rise... an impressive work' -- Jeremy Black * The Critic * 'Skeltons latest adventure with Rebecca Connolly will have readers on the edge of their seats. Enthralling story with a fascinating backward glance or three; Skeltons expert knowledge of Scottish history woven into his tale once more' -- Alex Gray 'Douglas has long been one of our favourite writers... so thrilling to read' * Scots Whay Hae podcast * 'Few writers have the stylistic range that Douglas Skelton does...there are familiar faces, family secrets, political machinations, and at least one terrible event that will shock readers' * SNACK Magazine * 'like a watercolour artist Skelton paints in a layer at a time from background scene-setting through bolder colours and final arresting details and once the tension starts to ratchet up, youll be hard-pressed to put the book down' -- Louise Fairbairn * Crime Book Girl blog *
