About this title

Synopsis

Scotland 1832. After enjoying a holiday with her family, Lady Kiera Darby is looking forward to attending the Duchess of Bowmont's annual Twelfth Night party. Though she normally avoids such fashionable events, Kiera trusts all attention will be focused on her notorious hostess and family. But upon their arrival at the opulent Scottish estate, Kiera and her husband Sebastian Gage swiftly deduce that all is not merry in the household. The family appears to be under a great strain, and someone seems determined to cause mayhem among the guests with a series of forged notes. Matters swiftly turn from irksome to downright deadly when the merrymakers stumble upon a decomposing body in the castle's crypt. The corpse is identified as the duchess's son-in-law who had supposedly travelled to Paris a month earlier. It is evident the man met with foul play, and Kiera and Gage step in to investigate. Now they must examine the facts, for a ruthless murderer walks among them, and Kiera soon discovers just how deep the killer is willing to dig to keep their secrets from ever seeing the light of day.
