•For Scotland lovers and fans of “Immer Ärger with Harry”

•“Discovering this author is great fun! Truly!” Recklinghäuser Zeitung

Loner Nicol likes nothing more than the picturesque little bay with a cottage and boat house that he has rented on the Hebrides. However, it is precisely there that Jim McKechnie, the popular Scottish actor and director, wants to film his new work. When McKechnie threatens Nicol that he will use his contacts to banish Nicol from his beloved piece of land, an ugly fight between the two men ensues. The next morning the sea washes up a surprise on Nicol’s doorstep: a male corpse in a kilt. McKechnie? What do you do with the body of your arch enemy if you want to avoid awkward questions? Unfortunately, Nicol is not as alone as he thinks. And his secret watchers also have a whole host of reasons for not wanting to tell the police about the dead Scotsman...
