The Scottish Prisoner

Jamie Fraser's quiet existence is coming apart at the seams, interrupted first by dreams of his lost wife, then by the appearance of Tobias Quinn, an erstwhile comrade from the Rising. Like many of the Jacobites who aren't dead or in prison, Quinn still lives and breathes for the Cause. His latest plan involves an ancient relic that will rally the Irish. "The Scottish Prisoner" is another masterpiece of epic history, wicked deceit, and scores that can only be settled in blood. 400 pp. (Historical Fiction)
