Close to the Bone - The Logan McRae Novels

by Stuart MacBride
Close to the Bone - The Logan McRae Novels
Close to the Bone - The Logan McRae Novels

Macabre crime spree challenges gritty Scottish detective.

As a fan of visceral, down-to-earth crime novels, you might find "Close to the Bone" particularly gripping. Stuart MacBride's craft in weaving complex plots with a touch of dark humor gives the book its edge. Logan McRae isn't your typical detective; he's flawed and relatable. Dive into the turbulent underbelly of Scotland and find yourself trying to untangle the twisted web alongside McRae. If you enjoy gritty realism with a strong sense of place, this could be your next addictive read.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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 outside Detective Inspector Logan McRae's house, but he's got more pressing things to worry about. 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, a mountain of paperwork, and the unwelcome attention of his superiors and the local crime boss. When another body turns up, it looks as if the similarities between these murders and the plot of a bestselling novel are more than just a coincidence. And perhaps those little knots of bones are more important than they look...
