Sloan and his enthusiastic, all-too-constant, but not very helpful sidekick Constable Crosby of the Calleshire C.I.D; to the travails of Henry Tyler of the Foreign Office in the 1930s; to Sheriff Rhuaraidh Macmillan of sixteenth-century Scotland: Catherine Aird's latest collection of literate tales takes the reader through the full range of crime and punishment.
