Publisher Description
She can’t prove he did it. But she might die trying…
From the Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author of the Logan McRae series, comes a standalone spinoff featuring DS Roberta Steel.
Revenge is a dangerous thing…
Detective Chief Inspector Roberta Steel got caught fitting up Jack Wallace – that’s why they demoted her and quashed his sentence. Now he’s back on the streets and women are being attacked again.
The top brass have made it very clear that if Detective Sergeant Steel goes anywhere near him, she’ll be thrown off the force for good.
But she can’t just do nothing – if she does he’ll keep hurting women. The question is: how much is she willing to sacrifice to stop him?

I think the last reviewer might have read a different book......?
I’m aware that it’s a slightly different format to the other Mc Rae books, but DI Steel is the funniest character I’ve had the pleasure to read about in a long time. I have read all Stuart McBrides books and they’re all brilliant but it was nice to get a book devoted to Roberta..... the mad wee foul mouthed monster she is. However I love Logan and her together.
Save your money
...wait until your library gets it in. Not usual Stuart MacBride standard.
