DEATH OF AN ADDICT Paperback – 1 May 2018

M.C. Beaton . Constable . English

Are drugs responsible for a sighting of Nessie''s long lost relative? Recovering addict Tommy Jarret has just rented a chalet to check out reports of a sea monster near the village of Drim. But when he turns up dead, apparently from a drug overdose, Lochdubh constable Hamish Macbeth finds the lad''s demise to be particularly fishy . . . and not of the local salmon variety. Deciding to go undercover, Hamish infiltrates the illicit drug trade in nearby Strathbane. But his scheme springs a leak when he''s teamed up with a tough Glaswegian detective inspector named Olivia Chater, aka Concrete Knickers. For the lanky lawman investigating drugs and sea monsters it''s time to sink or swim - and it would be equally dangerous to flounder . . . or fall in love. Praise for M.C. Beaton: ''The books are a delight: clever, intricate, sardonic and amazingly true to the real Highlands'' Kerry Greenwood ''It''s always a special treat to return to Lochdubh'' New York Times
