About the book
It is now December, and the Shannon family is making their way back to their clifftop estate near Kinloch for their yearly AGM. Shannon International is a major private corporation that operates globally in various sectors such as technology, finance, and mining, bringing immense wealth and privilege to the family. However, the family's prosperity is tainted by the dark history of how their ancestor, Archibald Shannon, acquired the land where their mansion now stands - a curse that has plagued them for generations.
When severe snowfall isolates Kintyre, DCI Jim Daley and DS Brian Scott are tasked with safeguarding the prestigious guests. As a mysterious ancient group emerges from the snowstorm and the Rat Stone - their creation - unveils disturbing truths, the ghosts of the past return to torment the Shannon family. According to the curse, death is looming, but who will be the victim and what is the cause?
