About this ebook

The 4th thriller in the Number One bestselling crime series from the award-winning Stuart MacBride. Panic grips The Granite City as DS Logan McRae heads up a manhunt for ‘The Flesher’ – one of the UK’s most notorious serial killers.

Panic strikes the Granite City...

When an offshore container turns up at Aberdeen Harbour full of human meat, it kicks off the largest manhunt in the Granite City’s history.

Twenty years ago ‘The Flesher’ was butchering people all over the UK – turning victims into oven-ready joints – until Grampian’s finest put him away. But eleven years later he was out on appeal. Now he’s missing and people are dying again.

When members of the original investigation start to disappear, Detective Sergeant Logan McRae realizes the case might not be as clear cut as everyone thinks...

Twenty years of secrets and lies are being dragged into the light. And the only thing that’s certain is Aberdeen will never be the same again.

Ratings and reviews

My fourth and the most pricey book in this series so far. I enjoyed most of it especially the element of 'who done/doing it'. The Heather character is annoying and the ending was slightly disappointing. Closure was needed, though I'm guessing the story might be picked up again in a later book?! I'm hoping the next book will be more enjoyable like 2&3 were.

While I enjoyed the book, the ending was a bit of a let down. Couldn't put it down for 2 days and the ending was a bit of an anti - climax. Also..did this book give anyone else the urge to go veggie...

Yea, I dont know. good but seemed very long and dragged out, and then the whole thing winds up so quick it's like, what just happened here, did someone say "you 3 more pages to finish the book"?
