Lucky Ruby

The Scots called him "Big Jock." Hailed throughout the UK as one of its most popular prime ministers and lately ennobled as Lord John Campbell of Lockerbie, his illustrious career is now heading for a well-earned retirement. Yet when the King of the Chat Shows, Mark Henderson, interviews him live on TV the public are amazed when they get more than expected - and never mind how personal he gets. Everyone knows "Big Jock" wears a large ruby ring. Yet the British public now discover that, behind this ring, there stands a rich broth of history and mystery. As "Big Jock" relaxes a remarkable family saga unfolds that merges love and loss, folly and courage through many generations, woven together by clan loyalties and characters strong or weak who - with and without that ring - bring delight to a mix that brings the past into the present, with something for the future.
