Kidnapped

Kidnapped is an historical-adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. A sequel, called Catriona, was published in 1893. It is a fictional account of real-life historical events that took place in 18th Century Scotland, including the Appin murder, which was committed just after the 1745 Jacobite rising. David Balfour arrives at the House of Shaws, an unfinished ruin of a house. His paranoid and thrifty Uncle Ebenezer lives there, surviving on small ale and parritch. David's father has just died, and David has come to find out if his father was actually the elder brother, thereby making him the heir to the House of Shaws. Ebenezer tells David to retrieve a chest from the top of a tower. David is forced to climb the stairs in darkness, nearly falling before he sees the staircase end abruptly, and suspects his Uncle of foul play.
