Murder Most Scottish

With settings that range from Highland glens to modern urban cityscapes, each of these stories is a masterpiece of intrigue and detection. Classic fare such as The Two Drovers by Sir Walter Scott and The Body Snatchers by Robert Louis Stevenson blend well with modern mysteries like Iceman by Peter Turnbull, The Case of the Parr Children by Antonia Fraser, or The Killing Game, a full-length novel by Bill Knox.
