This House of Burning Bones

by Stuart MacBride

Genres: Thrillers

Synopsis

Don't stoke the flames unless you want to get burned . . .

It’s not going well for Aberdeen's NE Division: half the force is off sick, all leave has been cancelled, someone has firebombed a hotel full of migrant and there’s a massive protest march happening this Saturday.

With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae has to kick off a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions.

But, as bad as everything seems, things are going to get much, much worse . . .
