Synopsis

Want to know how to take over a small country?
This story follows a group of disparate people, over many years, as they campaign for Scottish Independence. Isobel and Karen hold strong socialist views but they are tempered by James and Richard who believe that a better way to govern requires more control. Jake, from the criminal underworld, believes only in independence. Glimpses into the past show how their experiences have helped shape their politics and philosophy, and how it motivates them or, accentuates an already damaged personality. Their children, the second generation, join them and will surpass the roles of their parents. When Simon, a multi-billionaire owner of a gambling empire, agrees to finance them, all becomes possible.
When they realise that change will not come by political will alone, the plan for a bloodless revolution develops. They have the means to achieve it - Richard, throughout his career in the Army, has been building a hidden network of independence supporters within the Scottish brigades. To support the army network they have recruited and trained a militia commanded by the gangster's son. They have formed a political party that will be the basis of the provisional government.
They have prepared well for one day - Independence Day.

    “After all the times my mom told me to save for a rainy day…Who would’ve thought the rainy day would come in the form of a dead guy named Donnie?” 
      
    Roxy Horne is a process server—not that tracking down people and giving them paperwork is her life dream—but it feeds her cake obsession. Oh, and it pays the bills. Her dream of being a Private Investigator is far out of reach. But never once, even when serving to a slime ball who wouldn’t pay child support, did she expect to find a dead body. Now her life is crazier than the cacti being launched at her car. 
    There is an upside. While serving a subpoena she’s connected with her high school infatuation, Rafe Amato. If the name doesn’t tell you how hot the man is, his abs will do it. All ten of them. Rafe might be an ex-cop, but his mind hasn’t gotten the memo. He thinks like a cop, he acts like a cop, and he annoys her like a cop. Her upside doesn’t feel so up anymore. 
    When the Las Vegas Police name her suspect number one, Roxy is inches away from losing her job, her home, and her freedom. She needs help. And she’ll take any help she can find—even if it comes from the man who drives her crazy one mile at a time.

    Sometimes, folklores are real. 
     
    When legendary TV actor Montgomery Pryce is shot in the chest by an arrow and killed while on stage during a Robin Hood convention, Detective Inspector Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon are brought in to solve the murder, only to find that nearly everyone there holds a bow capable of loosing the arrow. 
     
    And when the cast of Pryce's show bring to light terrible jealousies and secrets from their past, and Ryan Gates, one of the co-stars is discovered to have a valid reason for wanting to silence Pryce, Declan finds himself facing paparazzi, managers and brutal personal appearance agents, as the organisers of the convention refuse to cancel it, and the bodycount rises. 
     
    Running against the clock, and with a suspect list longer than the roll call of Robin Hood's merry men, Declan must find out not only who killed Robin Hood, but also whether he was the actual target in the first place. 
     
    Because, for the first time... could Robin Hood have been the villain?
