Death of a Dentist

In Scotland, where thrift and a 'nice set of dentures' are generally admired, dental surgeon Dr. Frederick Gilchrist's cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him a clientele.However, wiser Highlanders, like Constable Hamish Macbeth, opt to steer clear of this reputed womanizer's all-too-busy hands. But a blinding toothache sends Hamish Macbeth 120 miles out of Lochdubh to the infamous dentist's door.Unfortunately for Hamish and Gilchrist, someone has canceled all the doctor's appointments-permanently. Since everyone is pleased that the dentist is deceased-patients, several harassed women, and even his wife-Macbeth faces one of the more biting challenges of his career.A toothache can drive a man mad, and Hamish, with a mouth full of throbbing pain, decides to go after the killer alone.
