Unsafe Distances

This is the 21st novel in the Pitkirtly Mysteries series, set in the present day in a fictitious small town on the Fife coast, not far from Culross but definitely not based on any real place.When they find evidence of intruders in the Cultural Centre one night, Amaryllis, Jock McLean and Hamish enter the building, only to stumble across a body on the floor of the library. As often happens, other inhabitants of the town are drawn into the developing situation. Amaryllis has an unscheduled dip in the harbour and Giancarlo, home from America for an unspecified length of time, alternately delivers pizzas and tries to save old friends from the consequences of their actions. Meanwhile Christopher wonders if he will ever have a moment's peace again.
