      About This Book

      The wickedly gripping follow-up to the critically acclaimed Something Rotten—a thrilling adventure with all the sinister twists, turns, and tragedies of Shakespeare's Macbeth, set against the vivid backdrop of the Tennessee mountains

      "This mystery combines violence, sometimes-wry and sometimes-bawdy humor, and down-to-earth teen concerns."—Booklist

      "A rousing adventure that may send some readers back to their Shakespearean texts."—Mystery Scene

      A Scottish Highland Fair turns foul when Horatio discovers the games' founder, Duncan MacRae, dead in his tent. All signs point to Duncan's son as the murderer, but Horatio's not so sure—especially when his friend Mac and Mac's girlfriend Beth start acting like they own the place. And why are Mac's and Beth's fathers acting so suspiciously? What's going on with the goth-punk bagpipers? Who's the hot girl spying on everyone? And why, exactly, are there men in kilts tossing telephone poles around? Kilts, Celts, and killers—this is one weekend Horatio Wilkes will never forget.
