For Jean and Alasdair, the bells of the new year are also wedding bellstheir rings are ready, their guests are invited, and the Gothic folly of Fergies chapel is waiting.
Then a guest is found murdered, lying in blood thats thicker than the sea that carried generations of Scots to distant shores even as their descendants hearts turn homeward.
The police crash the party, and Alasdair and Jean find themselves juggling knowledge, belief, and a list of suspects whose secret agendas raise more than a few hackles.
Is that the icy winter wind, or the banshee-wail of a long-dead MacDonald chatelaine affirming that only Fergies motives are true-blue? Or is he hiding a secret agenda beneath his fools cap and bells?
Ring out the old, ring in the new. But if Alasdair and Jean can't untangle the threads of the past and net a present-day killer, then they and their wedding rings won't get to the church on timeand more blood will flow for the sake of Auld Lang Syne.
