About this book

Toni MacNally and her friends think they've hit on the ultimate moneymaking plan. Buy a run-down Scottish castle. Turn it into a tourist destination. Sweep visitors into a reenactment combining fact and fiction, complete with local history, murder and an imaginary laird named Bruce MacNiall.But when the castle's actual owner--a tall, dark and formidable Scot who shares the fictional laird's name--comes charging in, Toni is shocked. How is it possible he even exists? Toni invented Bruce MacNiall for the performance... yet every particle of his being is eerily familiar.Soon the group is drawn into a real-life murder mystery; young women are being killed, their bodies dumped nearby. And Toni is having sinister dreams in which she sees through the eyes of the killer--dreams that suggest a connection to Laird MacNiall. Bruce claims he wants to help catch the murderer. But can Toni trust him...especially when his ghostly double wanders the forest in the black of night?
