"When the owner of a Portree gallery is found dead, lying in the snow at the foot of the Storr, D.I. Duncan McAdam and his small team must piece together what took him there... and who had a reason to kill him. A man with a flirtatious eye and no lack of ambition, there is no shortage of people who would turn a blind eye if something happened to him... and many who would willingly kill him themselves. As Duncan reveals the long-held secrets of the man's life, he finds the ghosts of his own past coming back to haunt him. The course of the investigation will not only bring others into danger, but Duncan himself will have to face his own past... whether he likes it or not..." -- Back cover.
