Murder, Curlers, and Kilts

A weekend visit to Rueland's multicultural fair turns sour when beautician Valentine Beaumont comes face to face with a corpse wearing a kilt. What's worse, she learns the victim was a target of foul play, her #1 nemesis is on the case, and no one is who they seem.

Despite warnings from hot, hard-headed Detective Romero to leave things to the police, Valentine sets off to snag the killer. While on the case, she crashes into sexy, Herculean stylist Jock de Marco, rattles an old foe, wrestles with family issues, and tangles with secretive clan members.

Will Valentine catch the murderer before she becomes the weekend's next target? Or are her fair days numbered?
