The Fingers of One Foot
DescriptionA new novel from this master storyteller - In a gentle village on the Scottish borders, Roland Fox, a young aspiring writer, moves in next door to the equally young and attractive Jane Highsmith, a newly qualified veterinary surgeon. But the growing attraction between them is muted by the recent and mysterious death of her beloved great-grandfather. There are all the ingredients present for a traditional village mystery in true Gerald Hammond style and with his usual Scottish flavour.
Bloodlines
DescriptionOn a clear autumn day local kennel owner John Cunningham sets out on the season's first shoot. Joining him is Ben Garnet, a corrupt local official who causes strife when he engineers an "accidental" mating between one of his spaniels and John's champion dog. The offspring would bear the coveted bloodlines of both dogs--but an irate Cunningham refuses to sigh the necessary papers. When a half-dead Garnet turns up on the roadside, Cunningham finds himself a suspect .Customer ReviewsAnother great mystery from Gerald HammondHave only recently discovered this author and I think he is marvelous! Loved the dog theme. At last a writer like Dick Francis but with a dog theme instead of horses! Keep up the good work. Can hardly wait for the next book! Recommended for all dog lovers and readers of Dick Francis books. Great mystery, bad plot When I read this book I was always looking forward to reading what was going to happen next. I didn't enjoy the plot so much about dogs and there bloodlines. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Nice job Very good Scottish who done it Scottish kennel owner, John Cunningham, his spouse Beth, and their new neighbor Ben Garnet go hunting together. However, John's enjoyment turns to anger when he realizes that the unprincipled Ben has set up a mating between his canine and John's champion dog. Later, the two men argue in public over the pedigree of the puppies as John refuses to sign the papers acknowledging the valuable bloodlines. However, the world is just starting to turn ugly for John. Ben is found half-dead on a roadside near John's house. Everyone knows John's animosity towards the victim and concludes that he is the culprit. Before the police accuse him of attempted murder and to regain his tarnished reputation, John begins his own investigation even if it means confronting a brutal individual. BLOODLINES is a great Scottish who-done-it that showcases the immense talent of author Gerald Hammond. Like the other stories in this fabulous series, the story line is brisk and the mystery remains mysterious until the end. The characters are all wonderfully developed, especially the feuding canine owners. BLOODLINES is a top pedigree of a novel that brings Scotland to life. Harriet Klausner
