His Bloody Project: Documents Relating To The Case Of Roderick Macrae

"His Bloody Project is an ingenious, artful tale of a 19th century triple murder in the Scottish Highlands. Though a novel — and shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize — it masquerades as the tale of a true crime, made up of a collection of historical documents supposedly unearthed by the writer, each new bit shedding further light on what drove a 17-year-old to kill three people — including an infant — in his small crofting community."
