'Douglas Skelton’s 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 * 'Skelton’s latest adventure with Rebecca Connolly will have readers on the edge of their seats. Enthralling story with a fascinating backward glance or three; Skelton’s 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 *
