About This Item
New York: Mysterious Press, 2003. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The nineteenth book in Beaton's highly-praised cozy mystery series set in the Scottish Highlands and featuring village police constable Hamish Macbeth, this time investigating a mysterious explosion that has leveled a cottage in a remote fishing village where the residents are hostile, close-mouthed and afraid. The text and boards are clean, tight, square; the dustjacket shows only very minimal surface and edgewear. A collectable copy.
Synopsis
Trouble is afoot in a Scottish fishing village as Constable Macbeth finds the pub empty, the church full, and the air permeated with fear. With the help of a journalist, Macbeth begins to ferret out the truth.
