“Sharyn McCrumb transforms mystery into astonishing literature.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer
Forensic anthropologist Elizabeth MacPherson gets a chance to revel in the rites of the old country at the annual Glencoe Mountain Games, the Scottish festival where several hundred like-minded Americans celebrate their ancestors' folkways. But the innocent ethnic fair is cursed when the loathed Colin Campbell is found murdered.
Then a second murder silences everyone's bagpipes for good. Enter Elizabeth, who make short work of her search for motive and murderer.
“I had a great time at Sharyn McCrumb's inimitable version of the Highland games.”—Charlotte MacLeod
