From the No. 1 bestselling author of THE MISSING AND THE DEAD comes the short novel: 22 DEAD LITTLE BODIES, plus two short stories: STRAMASH and DI STEEL'S BAD HEIR DAY, and a novella: THE 45% HANGOVER, all featuring his most popular characters DS Logan McRae and DCI Roberta Steel.
They say small is beautiful, but as Stuart MacBride demonstrates in these four tales, it can also be dark, violent, disturbing, and sometimes really quite rude.
So pour yourself a wee dram, curl up on the sofa and enjoy DS Logan McRae and his sometime boss, friend, mother substitute, and nemesis, DCI Steel at their best.
Here youll find Logans week from hell; Steels own personal nightmare before Christmas; an explosive shootout on a remote Scottish island; and the ultimate test of their relationship

MacBride is the natural heir to the late and much lamented Reginald Hill Andrew Taylor, Spectator
MacBride is a damned fine writer no one does dark and gritty like him Peter James
Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order Mark Billingham
Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field Independent
Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven or should that be hell Express
Ferocious and funny Val McDermid
Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBrides novels are a real treat Simon Kernick
