'MacBride is a damned fine writer' - Peter James, UK Number One Bestselling Author
Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Val McDermid, This House of Burning Bones is unforgettably gripping Scottish crime at its very best. The Granite City is ready to burn, and all it takes is a single spark . . . In the heat of a blistering summer, Aberdeen's police are struggling: half the force is off sick, leave has been cancelled, someone's firebombed a hotel full of migrants, and there's a massive protest march happening this Saturday. With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae is forced to juggle cases and run a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions. It doesn't help that the Aberdeen Examiner has just been bought by Natasha Agapova, a tabloid media tycoon hell-bent on blaming local police for everything. And she's more than happy to fan the flames. But, as bad as everything seems, it's all about to get much, much worse . . . * * * Praise for Stuart MacBride: 'Stuart MacBride is an automatic must-read for me . . . always fast, hard, authentic - and different' - Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series 'Dark and brilliantly written' - Linwood Barclay, author of I Will Ruin You 'MacBride is a masterful storyteller with a terrific eye for detail and razor-sharp wit.
