On 26 December 1900, the vessel Hesperus arrived at Eilean Mor in the remote Outer Hebrides with relief lighthouse men and fresh provisions. Staffed by three keepers, the lighthouse had been in operation for a year, but it had been noted that no light had been seen for 10 days. Upon arrival, the superintendent, Robert Muirhead, found the lighthouse to be completely deserted with no sign of what happened to the keepers. This title explores this mysterious and chilling story.
