About this listen

The Unburied Dead introduces Thomas Hutton, the coarse, melancholic, drink-fuelled, sex-addicted police sergeant Tartan Noir has been waiting for.

A killer stalks the streets of Glasgow, his attacks bestial in their ferocity. The police are lost, and soon, as the past begins to haunt them, they themselves become targets. Step forward Detective Sergeant Hutton, adrift in a sea of love, lust, deception, alcohol and murdered colleagues. And lost though he is, the dead will not rest, the past will not be buried, and Hutton must find the answers before the killer strikes again....

Critic Reviews

"Lindsay is an underrated writer with an eccentric, blisteringly satirical voice." (Sunday Express)
All stars
Most relevant
A surprising build up of energy and suspense gradually, oh so gradually is created by some lugubrious, depressing text.
Not sure if I liked it or not....
Narration was of high standard, but so depressing!

A strange, dark plot.
