This time, it's Calder's daughter's turn to tell the tale, as she takes her father's place as resident gunsmith -- and amateur sleuth -- of Newton Lauder.

The last thing Deborah Calder thought she'd be consulted on during her parent's vacation was a murder. Yet they'd hardly left when Inspector Munro called her to the Pentland Gun Club, where the steward's body had been found lying by a skeet trap. Tullos wasn't a popular man, but his grouchy moods were hardly a cause for murder.

Finding the cause becomes Deborah's mission, as she is suddenly appointed the expert forensic witness -- and, with her father's curiosity, finds herself launching an investigation of her own.


Praise for Gerald Hammond's Keith Calder series:


On Stray Shot:

"Simon's diffident manner makes an engaging contrast to Keith's brio. Complications abound... this outing has a rollicking air more Dallas than Edinburgh -- it's fast-moving, sometimes broadly funny, and one of Hammond's best."
-- Kirkus Reviews

"Hammond still works wonders with a few square miles of farm country, and his enviable gift for bringing antique gun lore to life continues to fascinate."
-- Booklist

And on Adverse Report:

"This delightful mystery... introduces a bemused Englishman to the colorful residents of the Scottish countryside... Hammond deftly builds his characters using a light touch; his firm sense of place and time unveil Scotland through the eyes of a newcomer."
-- Publishers Weekly

"The oddball likability of Scottish rural eccentrics has been a constant in the Keith Calder mysteries, producing a combination of quirky charm and unsentimental warmth... Finding a meticulously plotted mystery hidden beneath the local color should surprise no one familiar with the previous Calder tales."
-- Booklist

Gerald Hammond's Keith Calder mysteries, of which this is the thirteenth, include Stray Shot and Adverse Report. Hammond lives in Scotland.
