In this latest mystery, Hamish Macbeth investigates the disappearance of Kate Hibbert, whose return brings chaos to Lochdubh. As he navigates deception, he must protect his community and his own future.

In Death of a Traitor, the latest installment in the Hamish Macbeth mystery series, the disappearance of Kate Hibbert raises eyebrows in the tranquil village of Lochdubh. While Hamish Macbeth, the local police officer, typically views missing person reports with a level of nonchalance—believing most individuals will return on their own—Kate's case presents a peculiar challenge. Last seen struggling with a heavy suitcase, her absence prompts a reluctant investigation from Macbeth, who suspects she may simply be off on an adventure.

As he interviews those closest to Kate, Hamish is struck by their apparent indifference, which only deepens the mystery. His instincts tell him that foul play is unlikely, but when Kate unexpectedly returns, a web of lies and hidden agendas begins to unravel. The peaceful facade of Lochdubh is shattered as secrets come to light, forcing Hamish to navigate a treacherous landscape filled with intrigue and potential danger.

Caught between his duty as a police officer and his loyalty to his community, Macbeth finds himself pursuing a dangerous murderer. The stakes are high; failure could cost him everything he holds dear—his job, his home, and the life he cherishes in Lochdubh. With a blend of humor, local charm, and the unique quirks of its inhabitants, Death of a Traitor promises to engage readers while exploring the complexities of loyalty and justice in a close-knit community.
