Excellent- More about Death of a Traitor
Hamish Macbeth is not usually concerned about missing person reports, but when Kate Hibbert disappears, he is convinced she has gone traveling. When she resurfaces, a storm of lies, intrigue, and scandal threatens Macbeth's tranquil village of Lochdubh. Macbeth is torn between loyalty to his local community and his responsibilities as a police officer and must thread his way through a maze of deceit to catch a ruthless, treacherous murderer.

A missing person report is not usually something that Hamish Macbeth sees as cause for undue distress. However, should a child or a vulnerable person vanish, it is an urgent matter that needs to be treated seriously. In Macbeth's experience, most other people who go missing tend to turn up again before long. So, when Kate Hibbert disappears after having last been seen struggling along the road with a heavy suitcase, he is convinced she has gone traveling and reluctantly goes through the motions of investigating.
Interviewing those who were closest to her, Macbeth is perplexed by their apparent lack of concern but sees no reason to suspect foul play. When Hibbert does eventually resurface, however, a storm of lies, intrigue, and scandal threatens Macbeth's tranquil village of Lochdubh. Torn between loyalty to his local community and his responsibilities as a police officer, he begins threading his way through a maze of deceit, quickly finding himself on the trail of a ruthless, treacherous murderer. If he catches the killer, peace can return to the village. If he fails, he will lose everything - his job, his home, and the life he so loves in Lochdubh.
