Devilweed is one of Bill Knox's Webb Carrick, Scottish Fisheries Protection mysteries.
In Devilweed a Bank of Scotland floating branch boat is found wrecked and the crew missing. Captain Shannon and Carrick have to find out what happened to the crew, along with a missing islander and a missing fishing book.
A quick, but enjoyable read.
