Hamish Macbeth Ebooks Released
Cover of Death of a Gossip by M.C. Beaton
The Humble Highland Policeman Moves Into the 21st Century

Although they have been available in the UK as ebooks for some time, US fans of Police Constable Hamish Macbeth have had to make do with print editions of his first cases. But now Grand Central Publishing is bringing out fresh ebook editions, and to celebrate the release, these ebooks will be made available for a limited time at the reduced price of $2.99 each.

Long before Agatha Raisin brought her own brand of village detective work to the Cotswolds, Hamish Macbeth had already solved his own share of fiendish crimes. Starting with Death of a Gossip, follow the adventures of the quiet but crafty constable as he goes from merely policing the petty domestic squabbles of the sleepy village of Lochdubh in the Highlands to becoming Scotland's reluctant premier sleuth.

The ebook editions will be available from all major online book stores in a variety of formats, including Nook and Kindle eReaders. On sale from June 1st 2012, you can reserve or order your copy using the links below, or search your favourite ebook retailer for more information.

This offer is only available in the US.
