Passions flare when amateur sleuthing meets modern policing in this cute Scottish murder mystery!

When sassy Edinburgh journalist Amy Thornton infiltrates an environmental activist group, little does she know how quickly she'll scoop a story worthy of the front page.

A member of the group, who had moved clandestinely to the city after being stalked by her ex-boyfriend, is found murdered in her home.

All indications are it was a crime driven by jealousy, but DI Russell McCord is forced to back down from charging the obvious suspect. His mother is a high-profile lawyer who has a bite that promises to excel her bark, and friends in high places.

The activists don't trust the police, and McCord might have to exploit Amy's rapport with the group to get compelling evidence to solve the case. If she can keep her real identity secret, that is.

But the detective has other things on his mind. His father is remarrying and he has a best man's speech to write. He is more comfortable with homicide than matters of the heart which, when it comes to Amy, touch on his own.
