Rowan McRae is a different kind of hero for a different age, who must learn how to move on after experiencing unthinkable tragedy. A high-stakes mystery and an in-depth exploration of grief and loss, The Beltane Massacre is reminiscent of a classic spy novel—with a modern twist.

Former Canadian Forces intelligence officer Rowan McRae lives in the UK with a beautiful wife and healthy baby. He is about to finish his PhD and assume a teaching post in London, when the unthinkable happens. A bomb is planted in the bonfire at the Edinburgh Beltane Festival, killing many and turning Rowan’s world upside down. One year later, Rowan is enlisted by MI5 to help jumpstart the foundering investigation into the bombing. In so doing, he uncovers a conspiracy touching on the highest levels of society—a conspiracy protecting the bomber.

By day, Ray Critch is a lawyer who has appeared at every level of court in Newfoundland and Labrador and at the Supreme Court of Canada. By night, he is a happily married father of two who, once in a while, manages to carve off some spare time to pop down to a local sports bar and do some writing. In what now feels like a past life, but was actually 2010, he obtained a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh. Before getting called to the bar in 2016, he taught at universities in Edinburgh, Scotland; Vienna, Austria; and St. John’s, Newfoundland.
