Hamish Macbeth

Hamish's reputation is undermined when he is denounced as the devil incarnate, particularly now he's living with Alex.

The disappearance of a local seafarer on a whale-spotting trip leads Hamish into a murky underwater investigation.

Isobel goes after a big story and meets a handsome stranger, much to Hamish's annoyance.

Alex's book programme on Lachie's pirate radio station inspires a fever of literary interest. Hamish faces a conflict of loyalties, and tragedy strikes, altering everyone's lives.

Grief and personal crisis take Hamish to a remote island. There, he meets an elderly woman who is trapped with an unexploded landmine under her foot.

A family feud at the funeral parlour comes to a head, and there may be aliens in Lochdubh.
