A famous writer travels to the remote, windswept islands of Scotland's Outer Hebrides looking for peace of mind and a chance to dispel his inner demons. On the way, a car accident throws him together with the raven-haired doctor Kathleen McNeil. He also falls in with the Red Wolf, a man who lives by the old codes-some of them violent. As a love triangle develops, the refined, civilised writer finds himself pitted against the rough-hewn man of nature.
Summer of the Red Wolf is an epic story for a modern age; a fast-paced narrative in a rugged landscape, driven by the timeless themes of love and jealousy. 'Uncommon skills as a storyteller.'
The Scotsman 'A tale with a haunting quality.' Guardian Journal 'A deeply engaging story of people who find themselves living on the very edge of civilized life.' Goodreads review.
