Newly promoted to the rank of detective superintendent in the elite Scottish crime squad, Colin Thane gets his first case when a hit-and-run victim is identified as being a top-end errand boy in the European drug scene. Some three million pounds worth of amphetamines have been manufactured in Scotland for shipment to the continent. Thane's assignment: find out where exactly the drugs are being made. He traces the operation to a network of whisky distilleries in the Highlands - and now the going gets tough. Furthermore, Thane is handicapped for he is without the help of his old colleague Phil Moss. For this case he has a new partner, a rookie named Francey Dunbar, and Francey just doesn't come up to the standards of the old school...Praise for Bill Knox: 'The expertise is interesting, the invention good and the writing literate and lively' - "Sunday Times".
