The Lighthouse Keeper's Silence

The storm-battered lighthouse of Eilean Mòr stands sentinel over the churning Atlantic, but its keeper, Angus MacLeod, will never tend its light again. Found dead in the lamp room with his skull crushed by a heavy wrench, MacLeod's body tells a story of violence amid the howling gale. The lighthouse log marks the storm's beginning at 6:00 PM, yet muddy size-10 boot prints suggest someone braved the tempest to reach him. On the table beside his quarters, a porcelain tea cup sits half-empty, while scattered across the floor lie thirteen Spanish gold doubloons—a fortune that raises more questions than answers. MacLeod's meticulous records and unbending character had earned him both respect and enemies within the Northern Lighthouse Board.

Now Superintendent Firth, Captain Drummond, assistant keeper Robbie Sinclair, supply clerk Miss Blackwood, and keeper Duncan MacKay each have questions to answer. The lighthouse keeper's silence is absolute, but the evidence whispers secrets. Can you pierce through the lies and howling wind to expose a murderer, or will justice remain as distant as the Scottish mainland?
