Is murdering husbands an addiction or merely a bad habit?
This is the question facing P.I. Cat Harrington when rich builder, Tom Drayton, dies shortly after his wedding night. Suspicion falls on his widow, Anastasia Rodriguez, the survivor of three previous 'lost' husbands.
Two years later, Anastasia is engaged again, to Cat's friend Angelo, an Italian snail collector.
Angelo's sister, Gia, employs Cat and the SeeMs Detective Agency to discover if her brother's financé is a killer.
The search for Anastasia's lost husbands takes Cat and her team from Scotland to the South of Spain and on to Argentina.
They have just a few weeks before the wedding to discover if Anastasia is a murderer and save their friend from becoming victim number five.
