About Constabal Murdo:

A precious golden souvenir has disappered from Kisimul Castle, Barra. The historic brooch was given as a gift by the Chief of Clanranald to MacNeil of Barra in the 16th century. Or perhaps it was treasure found from a shipwrecked galleon from the Spanish Armada...

The local constable, PC Murdo, set outs to find 'who dunnit'. He has seven suspects, but in his search for the truth of the theft discovers that suspicion and prejudice make poor detectives. Help comes from smart officers from the mainland, whose most difficult challenge is Murdo himself.

In this short, humorous novel mystery and psychology are lightly mixed, revealing that folk’s actions and characters are as contradictory as they are complex. PC Murdo would find himself at home in both Whisky Galore and Para Handy. Constabal Murdo is a compassionate examination of how attitudes predicate actions which make or break communities.

About Constabal Murdo 2:

Ged a leig Constabal Murdo dheth a dhreuchd, agus e fhèin ’s a bhanacharaid air an dòigh a’ cur seachad nam feasgairean a’ coimhead ‘A Place in the Sun’, tha feum air fhathast ann an latha na h-èiginn.

A dh’aindeoin Brexit, tha maorach a’ fàgail nan eileanan gach seachdain airson na Roinn Eòrpa, agus bathar nach eil cho fallain a’ tighinn nan àite. Cò e am Maighstir Mòr, agus cò na sgalagan a tha ag obair dha? Is dòcha nach eil mòran foghlaim aig Murchadh, ach tha gliocas dùthchasach a dh’aithnicheas an diofar eadar caora is gobhar, agus cò a b’ fheàrr a rachadh air tòir na fìrinn?

Sgeulachd thaitneach cho-aimsireil a tha a’ toirt an leughadair o Mhalaig gu Marseille. Drùidhteach, èibhinn, dùbhlanach agus togarrach. Nach tig sibh còmhla ris air an sgiorradh chunnartach seo tarsainn na Roinn Eòrpa gu bhan nan tiops agus nan reòiteagan ri taobh an A9?

Far am faigh sibh, aig a’ char as lugha, aon Chornetto...

Although Constable Murdo has retired, and he and his female friend are happily passing the time watching ‘A Place in the Sun’, he is still invaluable at a time of crisis.

Despite Brexit, weekly shellfish stocks are leaving the islands for Europe, and being replaced by more unsavoury goods. Who is the Big Boss and who are the minions working for him? Murdo may not be the most educated of characters, but he has a generic wisdom that can distinguish a sheep from a goat, so who better to go in search of the truth?

A delightful contemporary story that takes the reader from Mallaig to Marseille.

Penetrating, hilarious, challenging and inviting. Why don’t you join him on this dangerous adventure across Europe to the chips and ice-cream van beside the A9?

Where you will receive, at the very least, one Cornetto…
