In the mid-1800s, a humble Scottish ploughman from the Hebridean Isle of Islay, seeking adventure, joined the Royal Navy. His voyages took him far from home, and throughout his life he travelled regularly between Edinburgh, Scotland, and the distant shores of St. John's, Newfoundland.
When the ploughman dies, he leaves behind a dark secret buried where no one would ever think to look. Its discovery draws the attention of the Sandalwood Investigation Agency, which is hired to uncover the truth behind the mysterious find. What the investigators uncover shakes the very foundations of everything known about the ploughman's life and progeny.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
BLOWN. AWAY. I loved this book. I read a lot of fiction, and The Ploughman's Harvest is truly world-class. It's one of those rare novels that completely pull you in and never let go.
- Mike Wetmore - Those Canadians Media Group
I cannot recommend The Ploughman's Harvest, or indeed any of Gil Waugh's novels, too highly. These are books to savour, impossible to put down, and all too soon finished. I look forward with great anticipation to whatever he writes next.
- Dr. James Skinner, FRCPC
The Ploughman's Harvest is a genuine page-turner with historical authenticity and emotional depth. I read it far more quickly than I anticipated, and it is among the finest recent works of historical fiction I can remember reading.
- Ruairidh Morrison, Solicitor and Senior Associate
The Ploughman's Harvest cultivates a journey through generational trauma and generational triumph while the Sandalwood Investigators look for the truths behind questions of what you should do and what you would do to succeed.
- Tim Dall, IT Project Manager
The Ploughman's Harvest, the fourth and final installment in Gil Waugh's popular Sandalwood Investigation Agency series, delivers the heart-pounding suspense, vivid historical settings, and intricate plotting that have become the hallmarks of Waugh's work. In this thrilling tale of secrets, betrayal, and the price of keeping the truth buried, the past collides with the present with devastating consequences.
