Five  months  after  Scotland’s  Independence  Referendum,  freelance journalist  Willie  Morton discovers he  has  a  look-alike  who  works  for pro-Union group, GB13 who aim  to  prevent  Scotland  leaving the  Union.  Morton  wants  to discover how far they are willing to go to frustrate democracy. What are the group’s connections with MI5 and is the Prime Minister involved?
It’s a game of high stakes and soon Morton is on the run in the Palace of Westminster up into the dusty dereliction of the roof space. He wants  to  confront  the  reclusive  leader  of  GB13,  whisky  magnate Lord Craile, in his remote mansion on Mull and ask him one question â€" Why?
But some questions are too incendiary, too dangerous... The Union is sacrosanct,  greater,  it  seems, than  democracy  itself  and  Morton  is  a threat to it, their top target.
Andrew Scott's pacy political thrillers explore the uncertain and ambiguous terrain between a declining Britain and an emerging Scotland, in fast-moving novels that combine and insider's insight with all-too-believable scenarios, set in contemporary Scotland, England and Europe.Â
