What to expect

The second crime thriller in the No.1 bestselling Logan McRae series from Stuart MacBride.

Even the darkest crimes will come to light…

‘Stuart MacBride is a damned fine writer’ Peter James

Crime never sleeps.

Down by the docks, in the dead of night, a woman is hunted down and killed. For DS Logan McRae, it’s just the beginning of another nightmare.

Neither does this killer.

As the day dawns and the body count rises, Logan realises that this isn’t just an isolated murder. It’s far more disturbing than that.
A killer is on the loose and wreaking havoc – and Logan is running out of time to stop them.

And the clock is ticking . . .

Yet another triumph of crime and detection by Stuart Mcbride. The reader is drawn into the minds of both the police and the criminals with such detail as to almost be there. Many more to be read yet and looking forward to each new story.
