The Klim, MO community theater is in rehearsals for its production of Macbeth, scheduled to open Halloween night. Sean Keith, one of the actors in the play, is vehemently opposed to its production. The stories of the 'curse' haunting its performance is nothing to fool with. But his warnings fall on deaf ears. He feels vindicated, however, when an actor is found dead.

The victim, unfortunately, dined at Linn House Events Center, Rona Murray's business that has been linked with other strange deaths. Has the Macbethcurse struck again, or is it the jinx of Rona's house? Local gossip laps up the prospect with all the zeal of whisky toasts drunk at a Bobbie Burns Night dinner.

To prove her business blameless, Rona investigates. She soon uncovers a tragedy as poignant as any play, one with ties to a 14thcentury Scottish blood feud. And one that might bring down the final curtain on her.
