Moot

From the
author of Cuddies Strip and Barossa Street comes a new web of intrigue for Bob
Kelty to unravel.

July 1939,
and 3,500 young men from around the world arrive at Monzie Castle in Perthshire
for the third international Rover Scout Moot. In the shadow of looming war the
Moot seems to be a last gasp of international friendship and fraternity.

But among
them is a murderer.

Bob Kelty
discovers a dead body in a burnt-out tent on the edge of the camp. He is
immediately suspicious but for some reason the authorities seem reluctant to
become involved.

More
strange things begin to happen and Bob's suspicions increase. And if the
authorities won't look into them, Bob decides he must.

Moot is a
novel of manipulation and trickery, murder and conspiracy. Unwittingly, Bob
gets drawn deeper and deeper into events he does not understand and cannot
control, events which reach to the highest areas of government.

And the
question is: when is a murder not a murder?
