All to the Sword

Thomas Davenport is invited to design a magnificent new house. When his sister Grace hears it is deep in the Highlands, she decides the invitation ought to include the wider Davenport family. They set out in the summer of 1691 with no idea that their travels will put them in the middle of the Glen Coe Massacre — one of the most shameful acts ever committed by a British government against its own subjects.

They flee. Behind them the machinery of state flexes, looking for someone to blame as public opinion turns, and liberty starts to look like something that can be withdrawn.

And their departure has left Parchman almost unopposed in Dorset. He has waited years for this. With Alfie Rose at his elbow and his old masters Cartwright and company behind him, he goes after the Davenports' homes, their friends and everything they have built.

The fifth and final Dorset Chronicle brings a decade — and a feud — to its reckoning.
