About the Book

The most hated man in the most dour town in Scotlandis sleeping with the fishes, or--more accurately--dumped into a tank filled with crustaceans. All that remain of the murdered victim are his bones. But after the lobsters are shipped off to Britain's best restaurants, the whole affair quickly lands on the plate of Constable Hamish Macbeth.

Book Synopsis

From a "master of outrageous black comedy," a cozy whodunnit mystery in which the exiled Hamish Macbeth must solve a murder that smells more than little bit fishy (The Times Magazine).

The most hated man in Scotland is sleeping with the fishes--literally dumped into a tank filled with crustaceans. All that remain of the murder victim are his bones.

Hamish Macbeth sorely misses his beloved Lochdubh. But wherever Hamish goes, he's bound to find a new case to solve. He'll have to contend with a difficult detective chief inspector, a dark-haired lass who's trying to seduce him, and a killer who will no doubt strike again . . .
