What to expect

A horrifying discovery is made off the coast of Scotland's Isle of Skye – with global consequences. Deadly Code is the third novel in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' – Daily Mail


Following a grisly discovery made on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is sent over to investigate. It’s there she finds a decomposing foot, caught in a net by a local fisherman. Where is the rest of the body? Who was the dead man?

And why does the Ministry of Defence want the discovery to be kept out of the media?

Returning to her island roots, Rhona soon becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the beautiful and remote Western Isles. For there are deadly international forces at play, controlled by powerful people who are willing to do anything to protect their interests – and will silence anyone who threatens to expose them . . .

'The best Scottish crime series since Rebus' – Daily Record

Critics Review

  • Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has become one of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction — honourable, inquisitive and yet plagued by doubts and, sometimes, fears

    Daily Mail

  • The best Scottish crime series since Rebus

    Daily Record

  • Lin Anderson is one of Scotland’s national treasures – don’t be fooled by comparisons, her writing is unique, bringing warmth and depth to even the seediest parts of Glasgow. Lin’s Rhona MacLeod is a complex and compelling heroine who just gets better with every outing

    Stuart MacBride, author of the Logan McRae series

  • Hugely imaginative and exciting

    James Grieve (Emeritus Professor of Forensic Pathology)
