A Virtuous Man - Campbell and MacPherson 06
Clare JayneAfter Ishbel and Ewan leave Edinburgh, the newly married Mr and Mrs McDonald inherit their missing person case, much to Padraig’s annoyance. He is sure the young man must have gone off alone to have fun and Padraig would rather concentrate on life with his new bride than deal with it. The missing man is a devout Catholic, though, so it seems increasingly unlikely that he ran off in this way. They then discover that a second man went missing on the same night as the first. As the missing person case grows more baffling, it causes arguments between Fiona and Padraig, whose marriage might not be as stable as they thought. They must keep going, though, as the longer the matter remains unsolved, the more likely it is that the boy will die before they can find him.
