How could the heavily-pregnant bride of the lanimer-man vanish into thin
air?
Young Mistress Audrey Madur is missing and her husband, responsible for
maintaining boundaries and overseeing land use in the burgh of Lanark,
is strangely reluctant to search for her.
Gil Cunningham, answering the frantic appeal of Audrey's mother, finds
himself searching the burgh and the lands round about, questioning
family and neighbours. He and Alys uncover disagreements, feuds,
adultery and murder, and encounter once again the flamboyant French lady
Olympe Archibecque, who is not at all what she seems.
And then another lady goes missing . . .
