In 1689, a young lawyer's body was discovered near Craigleith Quarry in Edinburgh. Meanwhile, in the Highlands, an army was attempting to overthrow the government in the hopes of restoring James Stewart to the throne. At the forefront of this army was Bonnie Dundee, who aimed to crush the government forces and support the restoration of James Stewart to the throne.

The discovery of the body raised several questions. Was it connected to the rise of the Jacobites? Or was it merely the result of an office rivalry? Could the young man have had connections to criminals in the city?

To uncover the truth, investigative lawyer John MacKenzie and his assistant Scougall embarked on a quest. They delved into the case, examining evidence, interviewing witnesses, and following leads. As they dug deeper, they discovered a web of intrigue and deception that threatened to shake the foundations of the Scottish government.

The story took them through the streets of Edinburgh, the rugged Highlands, and the political corridors of power. They encountered a cast of characters, each with their own motivations and secrets. Some were loyal to the government, while others were committed to the cause of the Jacobites.

As the investigation progressed, MacKenzie and Scougall faced numerous challenges. They had to navigate treacherous terrain, deal with rival factions, and confront powerful enemies. But they were determined to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice.

In the end, they were able to piece together the events that led to the young lawyer's death. They discovered that it was not just a simple case of office rivalry, but a complex plot orchestrated by powerful individuals who were willing to do anything to achieve their goals.

The story of Bonnie Dundee and the rise of the Jacobites is a fascinating and suspenseful tale that continues to captivate readers to this day. Douglas Watts' John MacKenzie series is a testament to his talent for creating compelling and intricate narratives that keep readers on the edge of their seats.
