It is the Edinburgh Festival. People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a road-rage incident--an incident which changes the lives of everyone involved. Jackson Brodie, ex-army, ex-police, ex-private detective, is also an innocent bystander--until he becomes a suspect.

Step into a shadowed realm where nothing is as it seems, and reality dances on the edge of illusion. Henry James's The Turn of the Screw is a masterpiece of ambiguity, a chilling tale that defies easy interpretation. Told through the eyes of a young governess, the story plunges readers into a haunting world of eerie whispers, mysterious children, and a sinister country estate. But is the darkness external—or does it lie within the human mind? James's novella is not just a ghost story; it is a psychological puzzle that invites endless debate.

There's only one problem: Malum blames their one casualty from the Patagonia mission on the Riøt squad.

Perhaps the most brilliantly successful ghost story ever written, The Turn of the Screw creates a terrifyingly believable impression of children so corrupted by evil that they remain deceptive pictures of innocent beauty.
