There's more than heather shaking in Lochdubh when Constable Hamish Macbeth investigates the murder of a gorgeous television reporter whose inflammatory reportage and unscrupulous investigative tactics have incensed the entire village -- and left no shortage of suspects.

But when the unpopular trash collector is found dead, stuffed in his own recycling bin, Scottish detective Hamish Macbeth is called to the scene to make a clean sweep of the murder and dig up a dirty killer with ties to Lochdubh's new oceanfront hotel.
Lucrezia Borgia - Life, Love and Death in Renaissance Italy
Lucrezia Borgia is legendary as the archetypal villainess who carried out the poisoning plotted by her scheming father—Pope Alexander VI, aka Rodrigo Borgia—and by her ruthlessly ambitious brother Cesare.

And no one is better qualified to provide reasonable answers than Dolores Cannon. During fifteen years of detailed research, this widely experienced and well-respected American past-life regression therapist has accumulated a mass of credible information about the death experience and what lies beyond.
