Dominik MacFie seeks one thing, and one thing alone. Revenge on the man who cost him his life. Lady luck was on Dominik’s side when she put him in the vicinity of the man who’d stolen his heritage, his honor, his pride, and most of all his life. Lady luck had nothing to do with Dominik’s sneaking into the man’s castle to attain vengeance. And he would have, had a comely lass with a bruised face not screamed at the sight of him. Dominik cannot get the bonnie lass from his mind, he has to see her again. Has to find out why her face is bruised. And he has to seek that retribution against his mortal enemy. Mairi McAllister’s a prisoner in a castle. She’s scheduled to be wed to the laird who’s holding her hostage by using her brother as collateral. She rues the night she screamed at the sight of the brigand with the dagger who could have put an end to her misery and her captivity. So why does she want to see the mercenary assassin again? Fate has thrown these two together but a mutual hatred will keep them together. Until fickle fate puts her life in imminent danger again. Now, Dominik has to make a choice.

Book Description
No other bandit in recent times has captured the public's imagination as much as Koose Muniswamy Veerappan. Be it his trademark moustache, stories of his daring escapades or his ruthless massacre of officers, Veerappan continues to fascinate, even thirteen years after his death. Veerappan: Chasing the Brigand is a lucid and incisive account of the rise and fall of India's most dreaded forest brigand. Chronicled by K. Vijay Kumar, IPS, the man who spearheaded the Tamil Nadu Special Task Force (STF) that planned and executed the dreaded bandit's killing, the book relives the various incidents that shaped Veerappan's life - from his birth in Gopinatham in 1952 to his death in 2004 in a shootout in Padi. It traces his dramatic rise from a small-time poacher and sandalwood smuggler to a brutal fugitive who held three states to ransom for two decades. The ruthless killings and high-profile kidnappings masterminded by Veerappan, including the 108-day ordeal involving Kannada cinema superstar, Dr Rajkumar, are described in fascinating detail. Veerappan: Chasing the Brigand is the most authentic account of the life and times of the dreaded outlaw.

One of the most beautiful and tragic novels that have appeared for years, truly a small masterpiece. Writing is superb: precise, clear, neither too simple, nor too pompous.
