Two Islands

A race against time for justice on the edge of the world

When a desperate young man arrives on an isolated Scottish isle, the locals view him with suspicion. But Niko is there for a reason – he’s running for his life, pursued by those who want him silenced for what he has seen in the Balkan War. His neighbour is a recluse known to the villagers as ‘Slow Fergus’. As the two men circle each other, Australian war crimes investigator Anita Costello races against sinister forces to locate her key witness.

Against this rugged landscape, where the tightknit island community holds painful memories close, Niko must weigh his loyalties to his family, his country and himself.

Written with compassion and insight, Two Islands explores how the ripples of distant conflicts can wash up on the most remote shores.
