When an elderly German tourist is found dead in an expensive Edinburgh hotel, no one suspects foul play. After all, accidents do happen. But Fizz, a legal student moonlighting as receptionist at the hotel, sees things a little differently. And when the deceased's sister, Elsa, reports the theft of a painting her brother had bought on the day he died, Fizz knows she is right to be suspicious. Enlisting the help of her reluctant sleuthing partner, lawyer Tam Buchanan, Fizz is determined to unearth the truth.
On a trail that leads from Edinburgh to Musselborough, the Moorfoot Hills and the island of Arran, Fizz and Tam find themselves caught up in a complex mystery that will test their ingenuity - and their friendship - to the very limit.
