description: '...one of the crime shelf's defter hands.' - Matthew Coady, GUARDIAN. When mountaineer and travel writer Vivien Reid takes Rupert Lasco to her home in the wilds of Scotland, her staff welcome him warily. But no one's antagonism can match that of Vivien's neighbour and former climbing partner, Alastair Semple. When Rupert and Vivien marry, Alastair's resentment turns to venomous obsession. Tensions mount, and one morning the inhabitants of the remote community wake to the awareness that someone is missing. With threats and cunning the cover-up starts - until a bird-watcher unwittingly records evidence of a savage death.
