- Synopsis
- Because of a man with a red beard, Inspector Gently's plans for a peaceful holiday in the Scottish countryside have gang agley. Gently first encounters Redbeard when driving on the highway leading north from London; his Sceptre almost collides with Redbeard's Cortina. Then, on his first evening in the Highlands, as he is strolling near the Bonnie Strathtudlem, he again spots Redbeard, standing high on a crag above the glen, peering at Gently through his binoculars. Next morning, the body of one Donnie Dunglass is found, face down on the heather on the braes above Strathtudlem, near where Gently had seen Redbeard. The killer was good at his work. A nice clean job. Not much blood. Just a single hole in the back where someone had stabbed him with a dirk--in the best Highland tradition. Gently feels it his duty to inform the local constabulary about the presence of Redbeard--and against his will he is involved in a baffling game of hunt-the-killer.
