Help with Scottish word, I think.

38d. Not fully remove at a stroke Balmoral’s suspended seat (4)

Still need to figure out last letter of 48a.

The first row gives the title and the author is easy to spot.
I don't know how the last row represents 25d and Deathblow, if it is the same book.

38 Swee(p), a good Scottish word, it's in Chambers.



Question Author
Thanks NAC.
Should have looked up Swee.
Thanks, Hankir. The last row, representing 25 D and Deathblow, is from the general theme, not the book in the top row. That book's title originates from an earlier, very famous book - and a name in that one is what can be found (remembering 'shattered') in the bottom row, along with another result of the 25 D.
I didn't start this until yesterday evening but am struggling with the author despite an almost full grid. Nothing is jumping off the page at me.
Novalis, have you filled in 1 A? That would give you a big help for finding the authour who used the theme. (And if you haven't yet filled in 1A, looking in that area should help!
Thank you Neveracrossword. I can see 11 possibilities for 1 across assuming I have the right first letter and 2 for 6 across. Even with 2 lists of authors in front of me and your guidance on where to look I am at a complete loss. I can see what is happening in the bottom row but the first part is a complete mystery. The pain from a stress fracture in my leg isn't helping me to think clearly.
Novalis, look for the name from what you already have in 1A- there's a well-known author, going in a much-favoured direction....
Thank you again Neveracrossword. I was looking for a 12 letter surname. The daft thing is that I studied the book for A-Level many years ago.
Novalis, glad that helped. Hope you finish off the end-game, it's all done very well.
Thank you once again Neveracrossword. I was just not seeing things clearly and looking for a 12 letter surname threw me completely off piste.
