The Red Mitten

by Stuart Montgomery

Cally Douglas had lied and cheated her way on to the ski tour. It was no big deal: the nineteen-year-old had lied and cheated her way through most of her life.

The trip was meant to show the world that she had recovered from a long-standing psychiatric illness. And maybe it would have, if some people hadn’t got in the way, people who were even bigger liars and cheats, and who would kill to get what they wanted.

About the author

Stuart Montgomery grew up in southwest Scotland and studied at Stirling and Aberdeen universities. He spent a summer working as a furnace operator in Norway, then returned to Scotland and worked in turn as a psychiatric social worker, social researcher and lecturer. Then in the course of a belated gap-year that has still not ended, even though decades have elapsed, he became an itinerant mountain leader and a teacher of cross-country skiing. He has helped to run two specialist travel companies, Waymark Holidays (until 2004) and XCuk (until 2014).
