Books like The presence by Heather Graham
Toni MacNally and friends aim to turn an abandoned Scottish castle into a profitable tourist destination by staging a reenactment of its local history, complete with a fictional laird named Bruce MacNiall. Their venture is upended when the castle’s real owner—also named Bruce MacNiall—appears, leading Toni to question the boundaries between fiction and reality. As the group delves deeper, a series of murders of young women begins, with bodies found nearby, and Toni experiences night‑time visions that let her glimpse the killer’s perspective—veins of a possible connection to the enigmatic laird. Bruce offers to help catch the murderer, but Toni must decide whether to trust him, especially as a phantom double of the laird is said to roam the forest at night.
