Third in The Cameron-Strange trilogy.

“If you want to understand Whetstone, ask Sir Roger Hollis what Palimpsest is.”

Just when the National Medical Advisor to the Security Services is on the point of retrieving an injured patient
from a hijacked 747 on the tarmac at Heathrow, the authorities pull the plug on a protracted negotiation, with
resultant loss of life. Primum non nocere. First do no harm. At the subsequent inquiry, it is the N-MASS, Dr
Alastair Cameron-Strange, who is scapegoated, and hung out to dry. Why? Who authorised the storming of
Aerolineas Argentinas Flight 301?

First minded to quit medicine and get out, sheer bloody-mindedness drives Cameron-Strange to open a file on
a high ranking government minister, the Enterprise Czar, erstwhile Managing Director of The Conglomerate, Sir
Roger Hollis. His researches take him from London to Edinburgh, thence to the north-west tip of Scotland,
where, accompanied by the mysteriously intangible Kathryn Hathaway, he discovers The Conglomerates’s
dreadful secret, Palimpsest, and solves the riddle of AA Flight 301.

But there’s no way back to London from Cape Wrath. Is there?

James Calum Campbell gathered much of the material for his novels during a 15-year period working and
teaching in universities and different hospitals in Australia and New Zealand. He also undertook work for an
international retrieval service and taught in-the-field first-aid techniques to Special Forces. He was the first
person to run the forty-eight volcanoes of Auckland in a single outing. He now lives in Stirling, Scotland
