When a travel agent crashes his private plane and the wreckage is mysteriously looted, Glasgow's Detective Inspector Thane returns--along with ingratiatingly scruffy sidekick Phill Moss--to look into the affairs of Eurobreak Vacations (Low-budget Holidays a Specialty). The investigation takes them around Glasgow Airport, up to the loch country, and into the morale problems created by a homogenizing reorganization of the area's police force. Solid detection and sufficient backgrounds--but why do none of these Glaswegians show even a trace of a burr?
