Chief Inspector Colin Thane of Glasgow CID has a bad case of the Monday morning blues. Not only is he fighting a bout of flu, he's also overwhelmed by departmental bureaucracy and the little matter of his latest assignment - the investigation of a private plane crash which has claimed the lives of two employees from a local travel agency. And when a third employee of Eurobreak Vacations dies, and the wreckage of the aircraft is blown to smithereens, it seems likely to Thane that someone at Eurobreak is organising something rather more sinister than holidays. So Thane and his trusted colleague Phil Moss retrace the final steps of the recently departed and take off for the Highlands on a little busman's holiday of their own...Praise for Bill Knox's "Thane and Moss" series: 'The expertise is interesting, the invention good and the writing literate and lively' - "The Sunday Times".
