The Silent Mentor

'Please believe me,' he started, 'I know you must have many questions and I'm not being reticent, I genuinely cannot help you. The answers, I am afraid, you will have to find for yourself, but maybe this will help.' He drew a small envelope from his inside pocket...The envelope handed over by a solicitor on the quayside of a Scottish Highland village, contained a map and small key and sets the narrator on a quest to find the identity of her unknown beneficiary, Avylis. An austere bothy in the Highlands of Scotland; a case full of papers and a faded picture in the village cafe are the only clues, but together they provide an enigmatic key to unlock the door to an unexpected adventure of self discovery.
