Publisher's Synopsis
Frank McClure, the eccentric son of an Ayrshire publican and his French au pair, applies to join MI6 to escape from his humdrum existence. When he is assigned to an undercover surveillance mission in Montpellier, he stumbles upon a racist cell who are planning to exact indiscriminate revenge on Islamic targets in Britain and France in retribution for the terrorist atrocities in New York, Madrid and London. As Frank races against time to warn his superiors of the impending attacks, various anomalies in the true purpose of his mission come to light and elements of drug trafficking and pornography compound to muddy the interaction between senior figures in MI6 and their French counterparts. The Pheasant Plucker is a compelling blend of humour, political intrigue and romance, with several intricate plot twists which will keep the reader guessing until the final denouement.
