About the book
Scotland at the outbreak of the Second World War: a series of mysterious deaths, a motley crew of characters, some heavy-handed humour concerning a particularly potent blend of Scotch whisky and a pair of squabbling academics. Not one, but two "locked room" puzzles solved by series detective Dr. Gideon Fell.
