Rauch überm Hochland - bk737; Ehrenwirth Verlag; John Quigley; Paperback; 1979

Die schottische Landschaft mit Bergen und Heide, wilden Küstenstrichen und verträumten Seen und die aufstrebende Handelsstadt Glasgow bilden den Hintergrund für dramatische Ereignisse. Die Kings sind eine typische großbürgerliche Familie der spätviktorianischen Ära und im Besitz einer gutgehenden Whiskybrennerei und einiger Pubs. Fergus King, das Familienoberhaupt, führt die Geschäfte mit fester Hand. Doch seine uneingeschränkte Herrschaft in Geschäft und Familie wird allmählich beeinträchtigt: Die Machenschaften seines Schwiegersohnes bereiten ihm ebenso Probleme wie die revolutionären Ideen seines Sohnes James. Vor allem bedroht ein möglicher Skandal um seinen Sohn Robert und dessen Liebe zu einem katholischen Mädchen den Familienfrieden..
