Book condition: Book is in good condition with no markings or tears. Book is slightly bent and chipped on back due to use. What accompanies a huge tattooed stranger to a tiny highland town? Death. Everybody in Lochdubh knew about the Macho Man, a mean bully claiming to be a professional wrestler. His insults at the local pub caused some bonny brawls. His sneaking around aroused suspicion that he was romancing some Lochdubh wives. And his challenging policeman Hamish Macbeth to a public bout triggered an epidemic of bookmaking. Everyone expected Hamish to take a bloody pounding; no one expected a murder. Amid all the excitement Hamish would rather be fishing for salmon instead of clues. But the brutal Macho Man left a trail of hatred and fear in his wakeeven managing to disrupt Hamish's career reason enough for a stubborn Scots cop to comb the Highlands if necessary to track down a heartless killer., Grand Central Publishing, 1997, 2.5, William Morrow & Co.
