This House of Burning Bones

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: ''Dark and brilliantly written'' - Linwood Barclay, author of I Will Ruin You ''MacBride is a damned fine writer'' - Peter James, author of Picture You Dead ''Crime fiction of the highest order'' - Mark Billingham, author of The Last Dance
