The Seventh Headland

A hand-drawn map hidden beneath the floorboards of a dead woman's cottage marks seven headlands along Scotland's most desolate coastline—each annotated with a stranger's name and a date from the 1940s. Fiona Murdoch, a cartographer whose life has ground to a halt, inherits the cottage and the mystery from her estranged grandmother. Determined to decode the route, she sets out on foot across the wild northwest Highlands, where every mile reveals another fragment of a wartime secret—and one devastating act her grandmother could never forgive herself for.
