Betrayed by an accomplice, and revealed as a "Gentleman by day, thief by night", Brodie escapes the city, is captured in Holland, then faced with a trial before a city where once he was a leading citizen. When he is sentenced to be hanged, his closest friend has a different idea and, in full view of everyone, Brodie takes his riskiest gamble yet . . .

"Life is short - it has to be. It is every spark that illuminates our skies - gone, all too quickly, sometimes without warning - and leaving constellations of darkness within our souls.

Please cherish these compositions and give each and every person the immortality they truly deserve." - John C Grant. This book contains over 160 compositions for the Scottish Fiddle. Each piece of music has been written to reflect the sights, sounds and 'well kent' characters of the town of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland in 2018.
