Publisher's Synopsis
When his old friend Lord Gairloch invites Inspector Boyle up to his stunning waterside hunting lodge in the Scottish Highlands for a weekend break, Boyle envisions beautiful lochs, peaceful walks, a chance of well-needed relaxation and the occasional wee dram by the fireside.
What awaits him is a blackmail plot and an eerie reminder of his biggest career disappointment, which threatens to destroy all Lord Gairloch has ever worked for. When blackmail suddenly turns to murder, Boyle finds himself deeply embroiled in his own 'hunting party' - but with only a handful of seemingly innocent suspects, no obvious motive, and an impossible timeframe to track down the murderer, while he be able to crack the case before someone else meets a grisly end?
