John Braemhor, former member of the constabulary in Rhodesia, and his wife, Mary, operate a B&B in the quiet village of Daraichburn in the Scottish lowlands during their retirement. But John's abiding interest remains investigative criminology and the unique and fascinating crime puzzles that pervade his world. His keen sense of justice and his inordinately skilled deductive powers, balanced with Mary's penetrating insights, make the Braemhors unique in the history of crime detection. A series of strange and astonishing events in their native Scotland and the Colonies across the pond continually confront the Braemhors. When two pipers suddenly disappear from a hill outside CraigDhuin on Loch Ness, the Braemhors journey north to investigate. Yet another case of ancient Scottish family feuds carried forth into modern times. Another puzzle arises when the brother of the head of an established Scottish house goes strangely missing. And a haunted house in the Colonies leads to a gruesome find that highlights a touching and tragic resolution to a legacy of mass murder. Meanwhile, closer to home, the Braemhors are engaged by MI6 to investigate the secret of the dunes and the unusual happenings at Sutors Cove, near Inverness. And even stranger are the sightings of lights in the sky over the Firth of Tay that many think are the arrival of UFOs. Theirs is an active retirement filled with the unusual, the extraordinary, and at times the bizarre.
