«L'Accusé du Ross-Shire» is the historical suspense novel by Graeme Macrae Burnet, published by 10/18 in paperback (408 pages, in French).
Set in 1869, it recounts the triple murder in a remote village in the Scottish Highlands and the arrest of Roderick Macrae, a seventeen-year-old youth. The work is presented as a file of documents: the accused's memoirs, testimonies and psychiatric reports of the era, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
Translation by Julie Sibony; originally published in English as «His Bloody Project» (2015). Finalist for the Booker Prize and winner of the Saltire Society Literary Award.
For readers of historical suspense and novels constructed as legal files, with a rural Scottish nineteenth-century setting.
