Description

This atmospheric debut mystery is a Scottish delight that will keep you on your toes with its riveting blend of real history, island legend, and unforgettable characters (Carlene OConnor, USA Todaybestselling author of the Irish Village mysteries).

On a remote island in Scotland, an American antiques dealer a brutal killing staged to recreate a centuries-old unsolved murder.

Autumn has come and gone on Scotlands Isle of Glenroth, and the islanders gather for the Tartan Ball, the annual end-of-tourist-season gala. Spirits are high until an unexpected turn of events takes the floor.

A recently published novel about island history has brought hordes of tourists to the small Hebridean resort community. On the guest list is American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton. Kate returns reluctantly to the island where her husband died, determined to repair her relationship with his sister, proprietor of the islands luxe country house hotel, famous for its connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Kate has hardly unpacked when the next morning a body is found, murdered in a reenactment of an infamous unsolved murder described in the noveland the only clue to the killers identity lies in a curiously embellished antique casket. The Scottish police discount the historical connection, but when a much-loved local handyman is arrested, Kate teams up with a vacationing detective inspector from Suffolk, England, to unmask a killer determined to rewrite island historyand Kates future.
