Can the truth sometimes do more harm than good...?
It is a wild winter's night on the west coast of Scotland and Dr. Peter Montgomery's nerves are jumping.
Ten miles away, on the heavily guarded research laboratory of Colt Island, a man is lying with a bullet in his shoulder and a shroud of secrecy surrounding him.
When Peter is called upon in the middle of the night to perform a secret operation, he is immediately drawn to accepting the very generous offer.
Curious, amoral and motivated by greed, the doctor blindly accepts.
However, upon arriving at the island, built by the celebrated philanthropist Sir Neville Raymond, Peter realizes that appearances aren't always what they seem.
He soon finds himself embroiled in a mystery of murder and deception that stretches far beyond the quiet seaside village.
Teaming up with his three good friends, Peter shares his growing suspicions of the famed research centre.
Together they travel across the island to unearth a plot more dangerous and complex than they could have ever imagined.
But when they ultimately pull off the philanthropist's mask, what dark secrets will they find beneath?
Crime's Masquerader is a fast-paced tale of mystery and murder from a masterful author.
Angus MacVicar was a prolific and much loved Scottish writer specialising in crime thrillers, science fiction and autobiography.
