What if the ghosts aren't haunting the castle... but protecting its darkest secret?
In 1968, stockbroker Percy Somerville trades London's chaos for a remote Scottish estate-complete with a crumbling island fortress, whispers of a vengeful spirit, and a local builder who warns: "Tread carefully... or vanish like the rest."
At first, Percy dismisses the tales of Dubh Artach Castle's "Grey Lady" as folklore for tourists. But after spending a night alone in its stone corridors, he hears the wail, sees the figure in Victorian grey-and realizes the haunting is all too real. Or is it?
As Percy restores the estate, he uncovers hidden passages, stolen treasures, and skeletal remains buried beneath the castle for over a century. The ghost may be a ruse... but the danger is deadly serious. With the help of a skeptical surveyor and a reluctant boatman, Percy sets a trap that will expose thieves, murderers-and a curse dating back to 1876.
3 AM weaves three sweeping narratives across time:
A laird's fight to reclaim his legacy
A woman's secret wartime betrayals
A scientist's race to save humanity from cosmic collapse
Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Daphne du Maurier, and The Thirteenth Tale, this atmospheric novel blends gothic mystery, postwar drama, and speculative dread into a haunting tapestry where the past never stays buried-and 3 AM is when the dead speak loudest.
Will Percy break the curse... or become its next victim?
Step into the mist. But don't look back.
