A crime of passion strikes close to home when Gemma and her best friend, Hazel Cavendish, travel to Scotland, where an unexpected meeting with Hazel's old flame yields shocking, and mortal, consequences. Hazel is the logical suspect, but Gemma knows nothing is simple in this place of secrets and long-seething hatreds. When the investigation takes a darker, more sinister turn, Gemma knows she will need assistance to unravel this bloody knot. And so she calls the one man she can trust, Duncan Kincaid, to join her far from home and in harm's way.
