Sergeant Hamish Macbeth–Scotland’s most quick-witted but unambitious policeman–returns in M.C. Beaton’s new secret in her New York Times bestselling series. From the author from the Agatha Raisin series.

When Law enforcement Sergeant Hamish Macbeth hears reviews of a haunted castle near Drim, he assumes the eerie noises and lighting reported from the villagers are simply local teenagers heading there to smoke cigarettes pot or, even worse, inject themselves with medicines. Still, Hamish decides that he and his policeman, about Loss of life of a Ghost Charlie ‘Clumsy’ Carson, will spend the night in the ruined castle to access the bottom from the rumors forever.There’s no sign of any ghost…but Charlie disappears through the ground. As it happens he’s fallen in to the cellar. And what Hamish and Charlie find there is worse than a ghost: a dead body propped against the wall. Waiting for help arrive, Hamish and Charlie leave the castle simply for a moment–to consume bacon baps–but if they return, the body is nowhere to be observed. It’s obvious something strange–and deadly–is taking place on the castle, and Hamish must get to the bottom from it before the ‘ghost’ can hit again…
