In dark, wintry Lochdubh, Christmas Cheer is about as welcome as a flat tyre on a deserted road. The Calvinist element in town has always resisted what they view as secular frivolity, so for most of the townsfolk there´ll be no carols, feasting, gifts - or even whisky on Christmas Day!
And for PC Hamish Macbeth there´s no holiday from crime - he finds himself hunting for a missing cat belonging to a lonely spinster. Curt and unfriendly, the woman is convinced her pet has been stolen but once behind her heavily-bolted door, Hamish can spot her true problem - she lives in fear, though of who or what he cannot guess.
Then someone steals a Christmas tree and lights from the nearby village of Cnothan. So it is up to Hamish to sort all these problems out - and he had better do it quickly, for the church bells will soon peal on the eve of Christmas.
This one-off standalone story is a special Christmas treat for all fans of Hamish Macbeth and can be read at any point in the ongoing series.
Praise for the Hamish Macbeth series:
´First rate ... deft social comedy and wonderfully realized atmosphere.´ Booklist
´It´s always a treat to return to Lochdubh.´ New York Times
´Readers will enjoy the quirks and unique qualities of the cast ... Beaton catches the beauty of the area´s natural geography and succinctly describes its distinct flavour.´ Library Journal
´Befuddled, earnest and utterly endearing, Hamish makes his triumphs sweetly satisfying.´ Publishers Weekly
