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. Also features the first UK
publication of a Hamish Macbeth short story, Knock, Knock, You're
Dead! 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
