As a professional Scottish dancer, Liss MacCrimmon has performed strathsprays and reels, jigs and Highland flings until a knee injury cuts her career short. Returning to her hometown of Moosetookalook, Maine, she decides to help her aunt run her Scottish emporium.
Liss hasn''t been in Moosetookalook in over ten years, but the quaint little town, nestled in the hilly terrain of western Maine, looks exactly as she remembers it. But then her bliss soon turns to dread when she finds the dead body of her aunt''s nosy neighbor, Amanda Norris, under a bolt of Flower of Scotland fabric in the stock room. And if things weren''t bad enough, the state police hone in on Liss as the prime suspect.
Now Liss will have to do some fancy footwork to prove she''s innocent while avoiding becoming the killer''s next victim. . .
