Book Synopsis

No wonder she''s been crowned Queen of Cosy Crime'' Mail on Sunday

The 26th outing for the Highland''s most famous PC: Hamish Macbeth

Then Pete''s body is found on the Scottish moors, and the mystery deepens. Once again, it''s up to Hamish to discover who''s responsible for the dirty deed - and this time, the murderer m
