An old story from the loose lips of a whiskey-sodden seaman sets Glaswegian giant Roddy Roy MacGregor off in search of wealth beyond his wildest dreams. On the tiny Hebridean Isle of Inishewen, he soon finds himself embroiled in a devious and highly illegal plot to raise the sunken treasure of a legendary Spanish galleon before the authorities, or the locals, can lay claim to it. Aided by members of the Clan MacAimish – the lovely daughter of the chief among them – Roddy seeks to scupper the efforts of the English salvage expedition and take the treasure for himself, and for the good of Scotland. ‘One of Scotland’s most prolific and respected writers’ The Times
