About this ebook

The third DS Logan McRae thriller in the No.1 bestselling crime series from Stuart MacBride.

A crime of passion ... or cold-hearted murder?

‘MacBride is a damned fine writer’ Peter James

The Granite City’s seedy side is about to be exposed...

A serial rapist is leaving a string of tortured women behind him, but while DS Logan McRae’s girlfriend, PC Jackie ‘Ball Breaker’ Watson, is out acting as bait, he’s trying to identify a blood-drenched body dumped outside Accident and Emergency.

Logan’s investigations suggest someone in the local bondage community has developed a taste for violent death, and he soon finds himself dragged into the twilight world of pornographers, sex-shops and S&M.

Meanwhile, the prime suspect in the rape case turns out to be Aberdeen Football Club’s star striker. Logan thinks they’ve got it horribly wrong, but Jackie is convinced the footballer’s guilty and she’s hell-bent on a conviction at any cost...

Ratings and reviews

Again the author delves into dark crime. Thanks to the character building there are parts that put a smile on your face, the little old lady was certainly one of them.

Fantastic read from start to finish. How Logan puts up with Steel and Insch is a mystery to me, they are enough reason to be bumped off? 😂

A little slow at the beginning but a good read. I enjoyed it very much
