Death of a Traitor cover

In Death of a Traitor, Hamish Macbeth faces a perplexing disappearance that leads him into a web of lies and potential danger, testing his resolve and loyalty.

In Death of a Traitor, the latest installment in the beloved Hamish Macbeth series, we find our favorite village constable grappling with an unusual case. When a local resident mysteriously vanishes, Hamish is initially unconcerned, believing that most missing persons eventually return. However, the disappearance of Kate Hibbert, last seen struggling with a suitcase, piques his curiosity. As he begins his investigation, he is surprised by the indifference of those close to her, leading him to question the true nature of her absence.

As the plot unfolds, Hamish discovers that Kate's reappearance is just the beginning of a much darker story. A web of lies and scandals threatens the peace of Lochdubh, forcing Hamish to navigate a complex landscape of deceit. His loyalty to the community is put to the test as he balances his role as a police officer with the expectations of his neighbors. The stakes are high: failure to uncover the truth could cost him everything he holds dear.

Death of a Traitor blends humor, Scottish lore, and the eccentricities of village life, all while delivering a gripping mystery. Readers will be drawn into the familiar charm of Lochdubh, where Hamish's earnestness and determination shine through. With the threat of a murderer lurking in the shadows, it becomes a race against time for Hamish to restore peace to his beloved village.
