About this ebook

The eighth Logan McRae novel in the No.1 bestselling crime series from Stuart MacBride.

Every murder tells a story. But not every victim tells the truth.

‘A terrific writer ... McRae is a delight’ The Times

Sticks and stones may break your bones...

The first body is chained to a stake: strangled, and stabbed, with a burning tyre around its neck. But is this a gangland execution or something much darker?

Someone’s leaving little knots of bones on DI Logan McRae’s doorstep, but he’s got bigger concerns. Rival drug gangs are fighting over product and territory; two teenage lovers are missing; someone’s crippling Asian immigrants; and Logan’s been lumbered with an ambitious new Detective Sergeant and gained the unwelcome attention of the local crime boss.

When another body turns up, the similarities between these murders and the plot of a bestselling novel seem like more than just a coincidence. And perhaps those little knots of bones are more important than they look...

I made the huge mistake of reading Book 9 before this one. I feel cheated! The twist/surprise in this is top-notch

I have read all of the Logan books and with the humour of the interaction with the other officers and the serious story lines I am amazed his work has not been adapted for TV - their loss!

Everything that this guy writes is so well written, the humour mixed with the dark content of the story... DI Steel is funny as f@#k!
