Fatal Frailties - Paperback

by Peter Davidson (Author)

This is the calamitous, at times hilarious, story of Detective Inspector Doddie Macfarlane's attempt to lead his chaotic team of homicide detectives in their mission to solve the mysterious murder of much-loved pediatrician Dr. George Ross. His Inverness-based team is led on many a wild goose chase throughout the beauty of the Scottish Highlands before stumbling on the most unlikely of scenarios. You will laugh aloud at the antics of the police psychiatrist, Dr. Martin "Mental" Nunn, and be aghast at the black humour of "Deadpan" Dick McIvor, the pathologist. There is also the driven DS Monica Richards, the disastrous constables Smith and Davidson, and the shy Ulsterman Dermot Long. This is an amusing romp at the bottom of which is a tragic murder.
