Resonance

Ties to the city that he grew up in are strong. Ties to a friend he grew up with are even stronger. A letter, which that friend has written to him, makes him question his roots, his values and his loyalties. And, even although he is half a world away and living a life he could only have dreamed of as a young man, he can’t ignore the favour that his friend has asked of him. Even if the friend is dead. Or, maybe, because he is.

An organisation destroyed his friend's business reputation and has been using the same tactics to destroy others. In pursuit of its own goals, it now threatens one of the world's most famous institutions, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. As he investigates he finds a trail of lies and deceptions that strike at the very core of everything he holds dear; Loyalty to a friend, care for the truth, giving people a 'fair go' and, above all, the defence of the dignity of the individual in the face of corporate greed.
