A Brace of Skeet (Keith Calder Book 14)

A Brace of Skeet (Keith Calder Book 14)

This time, itâ€™s Calderâ€™s daughterâ€™s turn to tell the tale, as she takes her fatherâ€™s place as resident gunsmithâ€”and amateur sleuthâ€”of Newton Lauder.

The last thing Deborah Calder thought sheâ€™d be consulted on during her parentâ€™s vacation was a murder. Yet theyâ€™d hardly left when Inspector Munro called her to the Pentland Gun Club, where the stewardâ€™s body had been found lying by a skeet trap. Tullos wasnâ€™t a popular man, but his grouchy moods were hardly a cause for murder.

Finding the cause becomes Deborahâ€™s mission, as she is suddenly appointed the expert forensic witnessâ€”and, with her fatherâ€™s curiosity, finds herself launching an investigation of her own.

Praise for Gerald Hammondâ€™s Keith Calder series:

On Stray Shot:

â€œSimonâ€™s diffident manner makes an engaging contrast to Keithâ€™s brio. Complications abound . . . this outing has a rollicking air more Dallas than Edinburghâ€”itâ€™s fast-moving, sometimes broadly funny, and one of Hammondâ€™s best.â€
â€”Kirkus Reviews

â€œHammond 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.â€
â€”Booklist

And on Adverse Report:

â€œThis 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.â€
â€”Publishers Weekly

â€œThe 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.â€
â€”Booklist

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