- Summary
- Death in the Highlands usually comes in the shape of illness or accident, and few doubt that one or the other has taken the life of Bessie Anderson. They can't be sure, though--for eighty-two-year-old Bessie has vanished without trace. But when the body of a hiker is found in the mountains, everyone knows it's murder. When 'Fizz' Fitzgerald suggests a connection between the two cases, the police can barely conceal their amusement. Giving them her best Shirley Temple smile, Fizz takes matters into her own hands, enlisting the reluctant help of lawyer Tam Buchanan. Tam's supposed to be enjoying a convalescent break after surgery, but his plans for undiluted fishing and whisky-tippling are easily undermined by the single-minded Fizz. Soon Tam is mingling with the locals, whose friendly banter conceals all manner of secrets. And it begins to look as though Bessie Anderson knew more than was good for her about one of her neighbors.
