The Honours of Scotland (the\noldest Crown Jewels in the world) are stolen from Edinburgh Castle by activists\nfor Scottish independence. Arrests are made but the Honours remain hidden.\nMax’s lady-friend Rosie is the KC defending the activists, and her best friend\nDCI Helen Dyer is leading the police investigation. He manages to annoy both by\ndiscovering where the jewels are hidden during an entertaining journey which\nlinks the colourful history of the Jewels to the current political climate in\nScotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e‘To Kill a\nCrimewriter’ uncovers a plot to kill four famous crime writers who all live in\nEdinburgh. Arthur Conan Doyle, who was born in the city, is being honoured at a\ndinner at which the writers are speakers. Max picks up a discarded menu on\nwhich someone has sketched methods of murder against the names of the writers.\nWhen the first actual attempt is made along the same lines, Max sets out to\nfind out which of the dinner guests might be responsible. Links to a recently\nreleased murderer suggest he is being used as a proxy killer in a chilling\ngame. When Max finally unmasks the evil mentor it brings disastrous\nconsequences to someone he holds dear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Conrad Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54526762647896,"sku":"9781917673020","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781917673020_40d2797f-bf0c-4f90-a60c-2bb642c750ff.jpg?v=1777908628","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/crown-dagger","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
