As a philosopher, mother, employer and resident of Edinburgh - the birthplace of moral philosophy - Isabel Dalhousie is aware that to be human is to be responsible. But morals, it turns out, are rather like clouds: complex, changeable and tricky to get a grip on. As she enters into ransom negotiations over a stolen painting on behalf of wealthy philanthropist Duncan Munrowe, a case where and villains should be obvious turn murky. The list of those who desire the painting - or the money - is long, and hasty judgement must be avoided. Isabel has tact, a lively intelligence and a sharp eye, and she'll need them all if she is to see the culprit clearly.
