A small island is home to a woman, Vesper Kemp, who has lost her mind, spending her days rambling in rags. What is more troubling, is that Vesper claims to have murdered a young man. A concerned group of residents have good reason to believe she is innocent. But Dandy and Alec will have a dangerous journey ahead if they are to uncover the truth in the River Almond's murky waters.
