Beneath the smoothly civilised surface of the wealthy stalking party assembled for sport amid the wild grandeur of a Scottish deer forest, tensions are steadily ratcheting upwards. Though the fishing and stalking are all they could wish, a lethal cocktail of sexual, social, and inheritance conflicts has combined to produce a highly dangerous situation in this untamed landscape where natural hazards threaten the unwary as much as man-made ones - and accidents don't always happen by chance. D.P. Hart-Davis' fast-moving and sinister thriller is handled with aplomb by this experienced sporting author.
