No. 1 Suspect — Helen Mulgray Morna

Murder witnessed on a webcam at the Seabird Centre near Edinburgh alerts DJ Smith, undercover agent for government tax inspectors, that a ruthless drug baron has returned to Scotland.

Never one to stick to orders, she swaps the undercover role she has been given and with her sniffer cat Gorgonzola rents an apartment as upper crust Vanessa Dewar Smythe in the Fife hunting lodge used as a front for his drug activities.

Which of the residents there is involved in the drug ring? The reclusive writer of historical novels? The crusty retired major and his bossy overbearing wife? The inquisitive antique dealer? The friendly wildlife photographer?

At the Pittenweem Arts Festival, on the golf courses of St Andrews, and at the World Hickory Golf Championships, Spinks keeps one step ahead. DJ soon realises she is both the hunter and the hunted. Edinburgh International Festival Fireworks Concert is the setting for the decisive encounter.
