Summary:
"Access to Lochdubh is along a single, twisting, one-track road, but
even its isolation can't keep Crystal French of Strathbane Television
from dragging her crew and cameras into town. There to do a new show
focusing on village life, Crystal quickly earns the outrage of the
local folks when she rakes up old scandals and intimate secrets -
tactics that promptly get her high ratings. Soon, even the local
astrology column is hinting that Crystal had better watch her step.
And no one, least of all Constable Hamish Macbeth, is surprised when
she is killed." "Glum with the news that his former fiancee, the
incomparable Priscilla, has found a new love interest, Macbeth fails
to notice that the writer of the astrology column, a pretty lady

"Warned off the case by his Strathbane superiors, Macbeth is left to

Laundromat. But when violence again disrupts the placid Highland air,
Macbeth finds his theories evaporating. With a new threat appearing
on the horizon - one that would forever tear him away from his
beloved Lochdubh - everything is unclear in Macbeth's world, except
for his own haunting suspicion that the killer is someone he knows
all to well ..."--BOOK JACKET.
