Catriona, first published in 1893, is the sequel to Kidnapped and continues the adventures of David
Balfour and his friend Alan Breck. Balfour returns to the city in order to defend Breck against false charges in the
Appin murder. In so doing, he becomes a pawn in a game between feuding Scottish clans; he also sets eyes on
a young woman whose involvement in the same matter becomes as central to his actions as his desire to vindicate
his comrade in arms.
