This House of Burning Bones

There''s no point screaming - we''ve only just begun . . . It''s not going well for NE Division: half the force is off sick, all leave''s been cancelled, someone''s firebombed a migrant hostel and there''s a massive climate change protest march happening this Saturday. With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae has to kick off a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers - AKA: DS Steel''s team - until the top brass can arrange backup from other divisions. But as bad as everything seems, there''s something far more sinister lurking in the heat-haze of a sweltering Aberdeen summer: something that''s been building for years. Something that longs to sing its horrible song . . . And it''s clear that things are going to get much, much worse before this is over. Praise for Stuart MacBride: ''Dark and brilliantly written'' Linwood Barclay ''MacBride is a damned fine writer'' Peter James ''Crime fiction of the highest order'' Mark Billingham
