Caught up in the strife between smugglers on the Solway Coast and the gypsies of Galloway, young Patrick Heron is flung into a society of social outcasts, outlaws and downright murderers. But this world of moonlit confusion and bloody horror offers a kind of freedom, too, as Patrick travels far beyond the conventions of his day.
Samuel Rutherford Crockett was born in 1859, on the family farm in Kirkcudbrightshire. In1893 a collection of his work (set in Galloway) was published as The Stickit Minister and Other Common Men.
