Description
Trouble has arrived in Stoyre, a remote Scottish fishing village. On a routine visit, Hamish Macbeth finds the pub empty and the church unexpectedly full, with an air of fear permeating the atmosphere. A holiday cottage is then destroyed in what the locals call 'an act of God', but Hamish suspects otherwise. With the help of sharp-eyed journalist Elspeth Grant and his loyal dog Lugs, Hamish sets out to uncover the truth behind the explosion. However, his investigation soon takes a complicated turn when an old friend dies, a scandalous rumour erupts, and someone close to him may be lost forever. The result is a gripping mystery that combines wry humour with sharp observations about rural life, making it a compelling read for fans of detective fiction.
