Devilweed by Bill Knox
On board the Marlin, Chief Officer Webb Carrick squints across Scottish waters in search of the missing lobster boat. What he sees is the 40ft Thrift, the floating branch of the Bank of Central Scotland - and what he finds is tragedy.The Thrift is adrift in Hebridean waters, her decks awash, her three main staff missing. Carrick finds all the hallmarks of an apparent robbery - only the ship's safe is untouched, and a large sum is still on board the ravaged cruiser. Carrick instinctively feels the answer lies somewhere in the islands off the Hebridean coast.
