Gil Cunningham and an old acquaintance, Glasgow merchant Augie Morison, report the gruesome find of a severed head instead of an expected delivery of books. At the inquest, Morison is accused of murder and imprisoned. He appeals to Gil, who sets out to identify the dead man and establish the provenance of the treasure that lay beside him. The trail leads from the court of James IV at Stirling via a cooper's yard in Linlithgow, to another murder on the bare slopes of the Pentland Hills.

Work Description
Gil Cunningham series #3
The barrel should have contained books--instead it held treasure and a severed head...
Gil Cunningham and his old acquaintance, Glasgow merchant Augie Morison, had been expecting a delivery of books from the Low Countries, and found the gruesome substitute. They report their find to the Provost but at the inquest the next morning Morison is accused of murder and imprisoned. To prove the merchant's innocence, Gil sets out with his friend and future father-in-law, Maistre Pierre, the French master-mason, to track down the treasure's owner and identify the dead man.
The trail they follow leads them from the court of James IV at Stirling, to an unexpected death on the bare slopes of the Pentland Hills.
