In 1603 the King of Scotland, James VI became King of England in succession to Queen Elizabeth. His father had been murdered and his mother, Mary Queen of Scots, had been beheaded. James, two years after he came to England, uncovered Guy Fawkes's plot. In these troubled times witches and witchcraft flourished, fascinating king and commoner alike. Against this background of sorcery, treason and violence, somewhere about the year 1605, Shakespeare wove the tragedy of Macbeth.

"Armstrong is a wonderfully atmospheric writer who shines a light into the dark corners of the human heart." SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Glasgow, December: In this city of biting sleet, icy pavements and Christmas street decorations battered by arctic winds, the body of a well-dressed man is found hanging from a railway bridge.

Perlman feels that this is no suicide, and that something about the corpse reminds him of his boyhood in the Gorbals.
