The Rocks of Scarr by John A Watson (Troubador, £7.99)
WHEN smuggled diamonds appear on the European market, the European Border agencies focus their attention on the Moray Firth coast and the old fishing village of Scarr in particular.
They swoop to net both the gems and the villains, but nothing goes to plan and a smooth operation rapidly turns into chaos.
This Durham-based writer has produced a thoroughly modern crime thriller that has more than a touch of “Whisky Galore” about it.
