Protagonist: Isabel Garth
Setting: present-day Orkney Islands to the north of Scotland

Young American teacher, Isabel Garth, comes to Stromness in the Orkney
Islands to pay tribute to the memory of her late father, a native of the
island. Straight off the ferry, she encounters the local witch who tells her
there's danger for her on the island--Go Home. Ransacked hotel room, stolen
drawings, sabotaged car brakes and a Viking treasure follow. The book shows
