\nSergeant Hamish Macbeth faces a string of mysteriou s robberies that are only the beginning of an international threat to his sleepy Scottish village of Lochudch in the latest mystery in M.C. Beaton&r squo\;s beloved\, New York Times bestselling series.
\nSergeant Hami sh Macbeth has some major problems to deal with &ndash\; crimes and crimin als\, even law enforcement agents\, that he doesn&rsquo\;t want anywhere n ear his beloved Highland village in Lochdubh. Hamish is worried about how the locals\, as well as those in the wider area of his territory in Suther land\, will react to his new assistant officer. The officer is none other than the enigmatic American James Bland who is on an exchange scheme from his home city of Chicago in the United States\, supposedly to study polici ng methods in Scotland.
\nHamish knows that this is far from the tru th. Having recently become involved in identifying a Russian spy ring to s olve a murder\, he is aware that Bland&rsquo\;s mission is to track down t he members of the spy network still at large. Bland trusts Hamish to help him find all of those who may have been\, or may still be\, in league with the Russians.
\nIn the meantime\, he and Bland have to contend with the everyday chores of rural policing. The tourist season brings with it the usual crop of traffic incidents\, lost wallets\, lost dogs\, and peopl e who are simply lost\, but a spate of burglaries and robberies committed by a man described as having a gold tooth and a spider&rsquo\;s web tattoo on his neck give Hamish cause for serious concern. The robberies become i ncreasingly violent and the man is dubbed "Spiderman" by the local press. Hamish has to use all of his contacts and every ounce of his Highland guil e to find the robber.
