This House of Burning Bones — Stuart MacBride

Don't stoke the flames unless you want to get burned . . .It’s not going well for Aberdeen's NE Division: half the force is off sick, all leave has been cancelled, someone has firebombed a hotel full of migrant and there’s a massive protest march happening this Saturday.With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae has to kick off a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions.But, as bad as everything seems, things are going to get much, much worse . . .* * *Praise for Stuart MacBride:'Dark and brilliantly written' Linwood Barclay, author of I Will Ruin You'MacBride is a damned fine writer' Peter James, author of Picture You Dead'Crime fiction of the highest order' Mark Billingham, author of The Last Dance
