With a history of bad debts, quarrels with his son and daughter, and shady associates, Sir Lachlan had many enemies. But while motives are not hard to find, evidence is another thing entirely. MacKenzie must put aside his own demons, enter a world of clan rivalry, unearth secrets from the past and discover who has committed this heinous crime.
