Death of an Outsider

A murder mystery set in the dreary town of Cnothan where the most hated man is found dead and eaten by lobsters in Britain's best restaurants. Detective Hamish Macbeth is exiled there with his dog, but longs for his Highland village and a lazy life with his lover Priscilla. As he investigates, he faces pressure from his superiors, romantic attention from a dark-haired woman, and the threat of a killer's next strike.
