The Ogham Plank EPUB

Feeling adrift and emotionally drained, David MacDougall arrives in Scotland for a family matterbut soon finds himself embroiled in something much bigger, a dangerous and ancient Celtic quest.

On the Oban ferry on the way to the Isle of Mull, David meets Carina Brodie. More than being drawn to her beauty, he soon finds himself entangled with her on a quest to discover the meaning of a set of mysterious clues carved into a strange wooden plank. But this journey puts them in great danger, for there are those on the island who are determined to stop them at all costs, including murder.

Throughout all this, David and Carina struggle to overcome the personal tragedies in their pasts in order to find a possible future together. Can this dream become a reality for two such wounded people, or has too much damage already been done in their lives?

Part adventure tale and page-turning mystery, part love story, and 100 percent a celebration of Scottish-Gaelic culture and history, The Ogham Plank is a thrilling, moving story that readers will not want to put down. Author Jim Lawrence infused the pages with his research into Scottish-Gaelic language, culture and music, as well as his own travels throughout Scotland. His interest in the country comes naturally, as he is able to trace his UK ancestry back to the 1500s.

The adventurous spirit with which Lawrence wrote the book breathes real life into the story. The story unfolded as he wrote, with the characters, including the strong female lead, almost dictating the story to him. Just as readers wont want to stop till the last page, Lawrence wrote because he too wanted to find out what would happen!
