His Bloody Project (Unabridged ed)

A brutal triple murder in a remote Scottish farming community in 1869 leads to the arrest of seventeen-year-old Roderick Macrae.

There is no question that Macrae committed this terrible act.

What would lead such a shy and intelligent boy down this bloody path?

Presented as a collection of documents, His Bloody Project opens with a series of police statements taken from the villagers, which offer conflicting impressions throwing Macraes motive and his sanity into question.
