<p><b>Move Over Miss Marple . . .</b><br> <br> The great and the not-so-good are gathered at Skirivour Castle Hotel, in the heart of the Highlands, for the wedding of the year - but they weren't expecting Detective Sergeant Roberta Steel to crash their party. And get horribly, <i>horribly</i> drunk.<br> <br> The whole valley's been cut off by a massive thunderstorm and the phone lines are down, so when the father-of-the-bride's body is discovered - decoratively impaled on a stag's head in the hotel lobby - it's up to DS Steel to find out whodunit. Which isn't easy when you've got a monstrous hangover and only a world-weary sergeant and a halfwit police constable for backup.<br> <br> With no witnesses and every wedding guest a suspect, Roberta will need to use every one of her little grey cells if she's going to catch the killer and get out of there alive.<br> <br> <b>Praise for Stuart MacBride:</b><br> <br> 'MacBride is a damned fine writer' - <b>Peter James</b>, author of <i>Picture You Dead</i><br> <br> 'Dark and brilliantly written' - <b>Linwood Barclay</b>, author of <i>I Will Ruin You</i><br> <br> 'Crime fiction of the highest order' - <b>Mark Billingham</b>, author of <i>The Last Dance</i></p>
