description: During a painting retreat a killer takes a creative approach to the ancient art of murder...The majestic landscape of the Scottish coast has attracted artists and fishermen for centuries. In the idyllic village of Kirkcudbright every resident and visitor has two things in common: They either fish or paint (or do both) and they all hate Sandy Campbell. Though a fair painter he is a rotten human being and cannot enter a pub without raising the blood pressure of everybody there. No one weeps when he dies. Campbells body is found at the bottom of a steep hill and his easel stands at the top suggesting that he took a tumble while painting. But something about the death doesnt sit right with gentleman sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. No one in Kirkcudbright liked Campbell and six hated him enough to become suspects. Five are innocent and the other is the perpetrator of one of the most ingenious murders Lord Peter has ever encountered. This edition features an illustrated biography of Dorothy L. Sayers including rare images from the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College.
