Death of a Dustman: A Hamish Macbeth Mystery
The garbage collectors in Britain are still called dustmen, and Lochdubh’s dustman is an abusive drunk named Fergus Macleod. When Fergus is put in charge of a recycling center and dubbed the “environment officer,” Constable Hamish Macbeth smells trouble. Sure enough, Fergus soon becomes a bullying tyrant with his new power. And after his body is found stuffed in a recycling bin, no one’s sorry-including his long-suffering family. But Macbeth is surprised to find that many of the despicable dustman’s victims refuse to talk. And when violence strikes again, the lanky lawman must quickly unearth the culprit among a litter of suspects... before a killer makes a clean getaway.
