À propos de la deuxième de couverture

y Williams has come to Scotland to study the life of Catherine McCulloch, a 17th-century woman accused of "congress with the devil" and burned at the stake as a witch. But at the moment Terry arrives in Inverness, another killing has been uncovered: the dismembered body of a beautiful young woman found at a nearby farm.

As police descend on the remote town, Terry digs into the past, uncovering a grim connection to Catherine McCulloch's death three hundred years before. And when a local group of partner-swapping Wiccans is suspected of murder--and more--the two cases come crashing together. Suddenly, in this rural corner of Scotland, Terry finds herself making friends, lovers, and enemies--because of who she is, because of what she wants, because of what she knows about a killer's twisted mind....
