Resumen
The debut thriller from a bright new Scottish talent set to rival Ian Rankin. Its DS Logan McRaes first day back on the job after a year off on the sick, and it couldnt get much worse. Four-year-old David Reids body is discovered in a ditch, strangled, mutilated and a long time dead. Theres a killer stalking the Granite City and the local media are baying for blood. If that wasnt enough, Logan also has to contend with a new boss, DI Insch, who doesnt suffer fools gladly and thinks everyones a fool, and his own ex-girlfriend, the beautiful but chilly Isobel MacAlister, who also happens to be the chief pathologist. The only good news is WPC Ball Breaker Watson, Logans new guardian angel. The dead are piling up in the morgue almost as fast as the snow on the streets, and Logan knows time is running out. More children are going missing. More are going to die. If Logan isnt careful, hes going to end up joining them.Set in Aberdeen, where the rainy season lasts all year, criminal gangs vie for supremacy on the streets and the oil industry brings an influx of wealth and vice, this is a gritty, powerful and page-turning debut thriller by a writer with a wonderfully observant eye and a characteristically Scottish sense of gallows humour.
