The Revenge Game
By Gerald Hammond
Follow Keith Calder — down-to-earth Scotsman, gunsmith and reluctant sleuth — in this clever and highly entertaining murder mystery series.
The past is never truly buried. Neither are its secrets.
The sleepy Scottish town of Newton Lauder is under water. The canal has flooded the surrounding streets and countryside. The town square is a lake of muddy water.
At the bottom of the emptied canal, a body is discovered. By the looks of it, it’s been there for some time . . .
Keith Calder — local gunsmith, hunter and mostly-reformed Casanova — is interviewed by the police to help shed light on anomalies in the dead man’s firearms certificate.
Shortly after, Keith’s shop is set on fire. He’s clearly upset the wrong people. But who?
Then, the threats escalate further. Keith and his family have targets on their backs. Can his hunting instinct help him track down the culprit before they manage to silence him for good?
A twisty rural mystery, The Revenge Game is perfect for anyone who enjoys Andrew Raymond, Val McDermid, JD Kirk, Jodie Lawrence and JM Dalgliesh.
