Death and danger stalk undercover investigator DJ Smith when she is seconded to the Portuguese Drug Enforcement Agency on Madeira, island of orchids and flamboyant bird of paradise flowers.After Luis Gomes' body is found floating in Funchal harbour, Comandante Figueira blames a security lapse by her for jeopardizing the success of anti-drug operation Boa Morte. Given a deadline to get results, DJ narrows down the list of suspects, each of them with something to hide. But her investigations draw the attention of a ruthless killer to herself and to her sniffer cat Gorgonzola.A tense endgame takes place on the two thousand foot high cliffs of Cabo Girao, when DJ is faced with the hardest decision of her life.
Edinburgh, and the island of Islay, world famous for its Scotch whisky distilleries, is the setting of the third assignment for DJ Smith, agent for HM Revenue & Customs, and her "e;sniffer"e; cat, Gorgonzola. The girlfriend of Louis Moran has arrived in Scotland and is staying as the guest of Sir Thomas Cameron'Blaik, wealthy and respected businessman and owner of Sron Dubh distillery. HMRC are convinced that Moran, a ruthless international drug baron, will join her there, and that as well as finalising another drugs operation, Sir Thomas's whisky business may well be a target. DJ Smith is sent in undercover role as butler to Sir Thomas. Accompanying her is her "e;sniffer"e; cat Gorgonzola whose sensitive nose detects something much more sinister than drugs. With millions of pounds worth of whisky and drugs at stake, anyone who stands in Moran's way will die, anyone who even rouses the slightest suspicion - and DJ Smith does exactly that. Others who have threatened his multi'million pound master plan have already been eliminated, and one more makes no difference. Can DJ remain undetected long enough to identify Moran and make her escape?A dramatic endgame is played out in darkness on the Firth of Forth with a backdrop of the twinkling lights of Edinburgh.

When a murder is witnessed on a webcam at the Seabird Centre near Edinburgh, DJ Smith, undercover agent, knows that drug baron Hiram J. Spinks has returned to Scotland. So DJ rents an apartment in the hunting lodge Spinks is using as a front, posing as upper-crust Vanessa Dewar-Smyth. But Spinks is one step ahead of DJ and their battle of wits comes to a head at Edinburgh International Festival's fireworks display.
