Morag Merrilea is working at the Shopmark Fashions factory during her summer holidays to earn some extra cash. But when the art student complains to Hamish about the theft of her sketchbook in the pub, he doesn't take her too seriously.

A dead witness. A forgotten crime. Hamish Macbeth never had it so hard as in this newest Highlands mystery!
When a local woman informs Sergeant Hamish Macbeth that she doesn't remember what happened the previous evening in the pub, he's not surprised. After all, she'd been out drinking and even though a crime had been committed in front of her eyes, she would make an unreliable witness as she claimed her drink had been spiked.

But when her body is discovered in a ditch, Hamish is forced to investigate a crime where the only witness has been murdered...

From the Publisher:
WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW COULD KILL HER
After an evening at a pub sketching the faces of the people around her, art student Morag Merrilea wakes up the following morning in the hospital with her sketchbook missing and no memory of what happened. Thinking there might have been foul play (and hoping she's not a common alcoholic), Morag reports to Sergeant Hamish Macbeth that she has been drugged. Hamish doesn't make much of her complaint, however. She had been out drinking, after all, and he'd prefer not to be bothered with such an arrogant and tiresome woman. But when her lifeless body is discovered and her sketchbook is still nowhere to be found, Hamish is forced to investigate a crime that the only known witness -- now dead -- had forgotten.
