Publisher's Summary

The number one best-selling detective series from the award-winning Stuart MacBride continues in this second crime thriller.

It's summertime in Scotland: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and people are dying....

It's summertime in the Granite City: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and people are dying....

It starts with Rosie Williams, a prostitute, stripped naked and beaten to death down by the docks - the heart of Aberdeen's red light district. For DS Logan McRae, it's a bad start to another bad day.

Rosie won't be the only one making an unscheduled trip to the morgue. Across the city six people are burning to death in a petrol-soaked squat, the doors and windows screwed shut from the outside.

And despite Logan's best efforts, it's not long before another prostitute turns up on the slab....

Critic Reviews

" Dying Light is a wonderfully gripping and grim second outing for Logan McRae.... Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order." (Mark Billingham)

Great, but...

I've always enjoyed these books. If there is one place these books have put me off visiting, it's the cities of Scotland. The description of the coldness, the wet, the grayness and granite of these places sets such a brilliant environment for the storie and the characters. This was a great story with so many threads however I thought it ended too abruptly, almost as if our author just wanted to tie it all up and submit...

Grew some

Horrifying though riveting; not for the faint hearted or if you do not like a bloody tail, or in this case a bloody finger or two.

A fast paced detective story

Stuart McBride writes vividly. The small details he plants in his writing make a scene come to life. Small, insignificant things that people do in real life. The story is gripping and races along. The narrator is excellent.
