Books by Ruaridh Nicoll

A remote fishing village in Scotland seems the perfect place for Betsy Gillander to abscond for a few days with her fiance. The enforced intimacy opens Betsy's eyes to the indolent cruelty of the man she's agreed to marry, while in the hotel bar the locals gather, increasingly anxious for news of a boat still out at sea.

Aaron and Hugh have been friends for as long as they can remember. A woman moves into the area, and drives an emotional wedge between the two. They turn against their world and vent their frustration, anger and despair in the only way they know.
