A Breath on Dying Embers

Book excerpt: "When the luxury cruise ship Great Britain berths in Kinloch harbour, the pressure mounts on D.C.I. Jim Daley. The high-powered international delegates on board are touring the country, golfing and sightseeing, as part of a UK Government trade mission. But within hours, one of the crew members vanishes and a local birdwatcher is missing. The lives of the ship's passengers and the residents of Kinloch, as well as the country's economic future, are soon in jeopardy. And as Daley faces a life-and-death struggle of his own, D.S. Brian Scott - reluctantly back at sea - comes to the fore. Could this be Daley's last throw of the dice?"--Back cover
