First published in 1956, this haunting novel of suspense and romance set in the Scottish Hebrides mingles pungent description with sheer terror as only Mary Stewart can. Most people came to the Isle of Skye to climb the jagged peaks of Blaven or fish the many sparkling streams. But Gianetta Brooke came to forget Nicholas Drury--the husband she had painfully divorced. The discovery that Nicholas numbered among the guests at the small inn was the first sign that hers was not to be a typical holiday. Then Gianetta learned that on the treacherous slopes of Blaven, murder had been done, and although she had missed the first act of an eerie, unearthly crime, the murderer was to strike again and again before the finale was enacted on the mist-laden mountain--a finale that would put Gianetta face-to-face with a madman . . .
