Hi all,

I have a patron looking for mysteries where fishing is prominent in the
storyline. He read Victoria Houston's series "Dead..." and would like more
suggestions.

Thanks!

Some more possibles:

BLOODTIDE, by Bill Knox, 1983: "Webb Carrick's latest patrol with Her
Majesty's Fishery Protection Service takes him into the waters off the
Scottish fishing village of Port Ard. Webb follows a dangerous course to
the truth in this puzzling mystery involving undercover Soviet
operations and the international drug market - and narrowly escapes with
his life."

BRAINFADE, by Peter Barthelme, 1989: A Beaumont tale of mystery, sex
and tarpon fishing.

CAPTIVA: A Doc Ford Mystery, by Randy Wayne White, 1997: "Thriller that
sends government agent-turned-marine biologist Doc Ford into dangerous
new waters, as a Florida fishing dispute escalates into a deadly war
that reaches across the ocean."

_Casting in Dead Water_ (A Max Addams Fly-Fishing Mystery), by David
Leitz, 1996: "Loon, Vermont has perfect fishing, a great microbrewery -
and a murderer!"
_Dying to Fly Fish_ (A Max Addams Fly-Fishing Mystery), by David Leitz,
1996.
_Fly Fishing Can Be Fatal (A Max Addams Fly-Fishing Mystery), by David
Leitz, 1997.

DEATH IS NO SPORTSMAN, by Cyril Hare, 1981. The Setting: A small resort
hotel in rural England. The Cast: A group of dedicated fishermen. The
Crime: Murder. Inspector Mallett's shrewd resolution of the case
involves the clever use of fishing lore and practice.

GRAVE VICTORY, by Gregory Bean, 1998: "Packed with the delights of
fly-fishing and wondrous Wyoming scenery: a taut, high-tension, and
compelling outing. This is a Harry Starbranch mystery."

HOOK, LINE AND MURDER (a Rigel Lynx Mystery), by Thom Elkjer, 1999:
"Reporter Rigel Lynx has been blacklisted from his San Francisco beat.
He knows zip about fly-fishing, but he needs the paying magazine piece..."

MALICE IN THE HIGHLANDS, by Graham Thomas, 1998: "As a member of the
Yard's Murder Squad, Detective Chief Superintendent Erskine Powell
tracks miscreants all over London. Now, seeking distance from the
criminal constituency-and the bureaucratic drudgery of the Yard-Powell
embarks on a salmon-fishing competition in the Scottish Highlands. But a
cold-blooded murderer soon turns Powell's haven into a busman's
holiday-and a quiet anglers' paradise becomes just as deadly as the mean
streets of London."

Ngaio Marsh wrote an Inspector Allen mystery with fishing in the plot -
Scales of Justice. Nice pun in the title, too.

If it hasn't already been mentioned Carl Hiaasen's book Double Whammy is a dark, humourous book about a fishing competition. Sometimes categorized as mystery, sometimes as fiction.

Malice in the Highlands by Graham Thomas fits the bill perfectly.
Salmon-fishing is a big deal in this book and in Scotland.
