A writer's retreat in northern Scotland becomes a master class in murder in this clever mystery novel.
The winners of a prestigious writing contest have been gathered for a writer's retreat in the home of wealthy philanthropist Hugh Barrabault. Located in a remote coastal village of northern Scotland, the elegant castle and its immaculate grounds are intended to inspire serenity and reflection -- the ideal conditions for literary productivity. But no one is feeling very serene when their host is found murdered.
Hugh Barrabault had the power to make any of his guests famous overnight. Who could possibly have wanted him dead? The murder weapon -- a writing quill of unusual design -- is their only clue. As the investigation begins and secrets are revealed, the former strangers are forced to make alliances. Everyone agrees that someone must take change . . . but what if that someone is the murderer?
