What you need to know before your trail

World-famous author Arthur Fletch is dead. His final novel, the most anticipated book in history, remains unfinished. But the ending won’t write itself.

When six struggling authors are invited to Fletch’s private Scottish island and presented with the opportunity of a lifetime, the plot thickens: whoever writes a worthy ending will receive a game-changing book deal and two million dollars.

Why have they been chosen to attend? Who is behind the invitation? And just how far would they go to secure a place on the bestseller list?

They have just seventy-two hours, a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write…

Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder.

Travel Guide

Skelbrae

Sadly fictional but there is a place called Skalabrae which is kind of similar in name so that and a small island in the Hebrides is on the map.

“A jagged chunk of moss-lined rock surging out of the white capped water. At first glance, it looks like a sinking ship, one side jutting up into a cliff, the other sloping down into the sea.”

“A dark stone house – no, house isn’t the right word, more a fortress, a manse, a miniature castle – perches precariously at the top, so near the cliff’s edge, it looks like a strong wind would topple the whole thing into the churning water,”
