Description

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

Someones leaving little knots of bones on DI Logan McRaes doorstep, but hes got bigger concerns. Rival drug gangs are fighting over product and territory; two teenage lovers are missing; someones crippling Asian immigrants; and Logans 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
