Product Description

From Booklist

This seventh adventure pairing troublemaking Fizz Fitzpatrick and her employer, straight-arrow Tam Buchanan, finds the disparate duo tromping in the Scottish Highlands. Seeking a brief walking holiday away from their law firm in Glasgow, Fizz and Tam soon wish they had never left home. After witnessing a grisly car accident, they try (in vain) to help the driver, who, with her dying breath, elicits a promise from Tam to protect her passenger, an elderly man named Scott McKenzie. This innocent promise sets in motion a swashbuckling adventure, beginning with Scott's near murder by two police officers. As Tam and Fizz spirit him away, they realize they are now on the run from the law. Complicating matters further is Scott's seemingly permanent drunkenness, which has left him no idea who is after him or why. Filled with wry humor, ample suspense, and fabulous chemistry between the protagonists, this series goes down as smoothly as a wee taste of Glenmorangie. Jenny McLarin

5.0 out of 5 stars Joyce Holms epitomizes crime mystery with humour., Mar 24 2003
Ms. Holms' 'Buchanan & Fizz' characters are so well drawn that in this, her seventh book starring the couple, the reader feels at home with them from the very first sentence.
From a start which has one 'hooked' from the first couple of pages, through a crime mystery which is solved at the end, the reader is taken along on a joyous ride within Edinburgh, Scotland's beautiful capital city and out into the surrounding countryside.
The other supporting characters are well drawn and, as always with Ms. Holms' books, interesting in their own right. The plot is unique, as are all this author's plots.
Each book is a story unto itself so if the reader can't find all of her books, although, I urge them to try, one can still enjoy each book to the fullest.
Fizz & Buchanan books would make a wonderful TV series.
