Synopsis
'At very short notice Gerald Burleigh Brown is asked to take a deer stalking holiday in place of his brother-in-law, who has to deal with a security threat to the shipyard which they manage. The old hunting lodge where Gerald stays is high up in the hills, miles from the nearest village and surrounded by the forest with its high rocky hills, sparkling silver burns and grassy valleys where the red deer feed - an enchanting background to an unusual and exciting chain of events. Apart from getting to know the other men and attractive girls in the house party, Gerald gradually begins to understand and make friends with the local inhabitants. His days are spent stalking the 'hummel', a huge hornless stag which proves particularly elusive. Then suddenly an outburst of violence changes the whole nature of his holiday. In trying to protect the girl he has grown to love Gerald runs into considerable personal danger as the novel moves to its climax'.
