Rich, old practical joker Andrew Trent summons his kin to remote Arrat House in the dead of winter for a deathbed farewell.
Fortunately, he has a few clever tricks up his own sleeve, which enable this most endearing of crime fighters to get the best, and last, laugh..
And when the lanky constable\'s former flame, Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, inserts her beautiful self into the case, Hamish must muster all his native guile to carry him through.
Especially not Constable Hamish Macbeth, who is hard put to glean any information from Trent\'s unappealing nearest and dearest.
And nobody\'s laughing.
But this time the body that falls out of the closet is Andrew Trent\'s own.
They arrive to find him in perfect health and eager to torment them with a whole new bag of unfunny jokes.
