He knows it's beautiful. He thinks it might be dangerous. When Gill McArdle looks at Loch Ness, he'd rather be anywhere else than here.

Investigative journal, “Mysterious Scotland”, launched less than a year ago with a stellar first issue. Now, the magazine and everyone associated with it are under pressure. Editor Gill McArdle criss-crosses Scotland pursuing stories in an energetic attempt to halt the slide in sales. When an unusual animal carcase is discovered in Caithness his investigations lead him, reluctantly, to the banks of Loch Ness. Sceptical about the increasing sightings around the loch, Gill reopens an old archaeological site in his search for answers. Little by little, he is forced to acknowledge that danger lurks in the Great Glen’s deepest waters.
