Attorney Hugh Logan leaves Canada to negotiate the purchase of Carnglass Island and Old House of Fear in the Hebrides for his employer, Duncan MacAskival. From the moment he arrives in Scotland, Logan is thwarted and threatened on his journey. But no matter how bad his travels, his arrival on the island proves trouble has just begun. The island is under the control of evil genius Dr. Edmund Jackman, convinced that Logan is a spy who must die. Only escaping Jackmans terrible clutches through the assistance of lovely, red-haired Mary MacAskival, niece of the bedridden owner of Old House, Logan must find a way to thwart Jackman's evil plot before he and his newfound love both perish on the isolated island.

Russell Kirk

Russell Kirk (1918–1994) was an American political theorist, moralist, historian, social critic, literary critic, and fiction author known for his influence on 20th century American conservatism. His 1953 book, The Conservative Mind, gave shape to the amorphous post-World War II conservative movement. It traced the development of conservative thought in the Anglo-American tradition, giving special importance to the ideas of Edmund Burke. Kirk was also considered the chief proponent of traditionalist conservatism.
