Overview

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.

What People are Saying About This

Anne Perry

"A story that carries you along, set in beautiful country - vividly and realistically brought to life. You reat it - and are there!"

Susan Allen Toch

"Graham Thomas knows his Highlands, lochs, glens, and salmon fishing - and I followed the ingenious twists and turns of this tidy plot, I felt I had been transported back to chillingly beautiful, remote country. With its accuracy of detail, 'Malice in the Highlands' is fiercely intelligent mortal mystery."
