The Electric In The Glen
Book 3 in the Cannich Series of Novels - Stories of the Highlands in the Days of the Hydro
1948 and the Highlands of Scotland ring to the crash of jackhammers and the roar of gelignite as one of the most ambitious civil engineering projects the world had seen, is let loose.
The Hydro has come and in the quiet backwaters, the lochs and the glens, small, close-knit communities start to resemble towns of the wild west as from all corners of the globe, wild, hard men come chasing the Hydro's shilling. It is Scotland's Klondyke. For Donald Fraser, after army service that has taken him to the European battlefields and a German prison camp, it is his second summer back in his home village. He is enjoying the peace, but initially unsure of his long-term intentions, his peace has not come easily. Now he is settled - or so he believes but soon the dark and savage side of life on the Hydro rears its unwelcome head and a family secret, long buried and never suspected, throws him again into turmoil. Once more the question faces him - stay in Cannich or go? It is a question only he can answer.
Politics, crime and a hint of romance all come together in The Electric in the Glen, the third novel in the acclaimed Cannich Series by David Charles
A brilliant read. Highland nostalgia at its best
A page turner. I've already purchased the third edition in this trilogy and can't wait to get stuck into it. This should be made into a tv series. Can't say more than that.
