THE SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLER

The tenth Logan McRae novel from the No. 1 bestselling author.

‘Top drawer … his most epic outing yet’ Independent

Trouble is coming…

Sergeant Logan McRae’s team find a body dumped in the woods – but is it the missing businessman they’ve been searching for, or something far more sinister? It doesn’t help that his ex-boss is taking over the case, a new Superintendent has it in for him, and Professional Standards are looming.

Even worse: Aberdeen’s criminal overlord, Wee Hamish Mowat, is dying and rival gangs all over the UK are eying his territory.

There’s a war brewing and Logan’s trapped right in the middle, whether he likes it or not.

Logan is still running

Another well written and tautly plotted episode in the life of Logan McRae. Doric villainy continues to explode into his life “like plooks on a junkie” as his sometime colleague Inspector Steel would say but it is all good stuff if a bit overwrought.
I am not tired of the hero yet so I’ll go on reading and so should you

Amazing series

I LOVED this series! I read them one after the other and now feeling lost with no Logan and friends in my life!

Greenwich crimes ,

The cold hard ground

Another Logan smash hit, I can't wait for the next instalment. Stuart mcbride is a genius and I have read everything he has written ( including short stories) I can't say anymore other than read this his work is standout.
