Malice In The Highlands eBook

INTRODUCING ERSKINE POWELL OF SCOTLAND YARD

Crime, investigation, punishment. They''re all in a day''s work to Detective Chief Superintendent Erskine Powell of New Scotland Yard. As a member of the Yard''s Murder Squad, Powell tracks miscreants all over London.

Now, seeking distance from the criminal constituency--and the bureaucratic drudgery of the Yard--Powell embarks on a salmon-fishing competition in the Scottish Highlands. There, in the castle-dotted countryside along the picturesque River Spey, he seeks peace and seclusion. But a cold-blooded murderer soon turns Powell''s haven into a busman''s holiday--and a quiet anglers'' paradise becomes just as deadly as the mean streets of London.
