Two Ash Henderson crime thrillers from the author of four consecutive No. 1 Sunday Times bestsellers.

 BIRTHDAYS FOR THE DEAD: Detective Constable Ash Henderson has a dark secret.

 Five years ago his daughter, Rebecca, went missing on the eve of her thirteenth birthday. A year later the first card arrived: home-made, with a Polaroid picture stuck to the front - Rebecca, strapped to a chair, gagged and terrified. Every year another card: each one worse than the last.

 The tabloids call him 'The Birthday Boy'. He's been snatching girls for twelve years, always in the run-up to their thirteenth birthday, sending the families his home-made cards showing their daughters being slowly tortured to death.

 But Ash hasn't told anyone about Rebecca's birthday cards - they all think she's just run away from home - because if anyone finds out, he'll be taken off the investigation. And he's sacrificed too much to give up before his daughter's killer gets what he deserves.

 A SONG FOR THE DYING: He's back.

 Eight years ago, 'The Inside Man' murdered four women and left three more in critical condition - all of them with their stomachs slit open and a plastic doll stitched inside.

 And then the killer just . disappeared.

 Ash Henderson was a Detective Inspector on the initial investigation, but a lot can change in eight years. His family has been destroyed, his career is in tatters, and one of Oldcastle's most vicious criminals is making sure he spends the rest of his life in prison.

 Now a nurse has turned up dead on a patch of waste ground, a plastic doll buried beneath her skin, and it looks as if Ash might finally get a shot at redemption. At earning his freedom.

 At revenge.

Stuart MacBride: Ash Henderson 2-book Crime Thriller Collection

Two bloody brilliant short stories from No. 1 bestselling crime writer Stuart MacBride, featuring DS Logan McRae and his boss DI Steel

 STRAMASH:Something fishy is happening on the isle of Jura.

 DS Logan McRae gets a phone call from DI Steel ordering him to come to the island at once. One freezing night's sleep in a hatchback and two storm-battered ferries later, Logan arrives - but there's no sign of Steel.

 She's lumped him in the middle of a policing nightmare, with bodies, and bullets, and tiny wee boats. And a dangerous hard man who's meant to be dead.

 DI STEEL'S BAD HEIR DAY:Why is DI Steel in an even worse mood than usual?

 Is it because it's Christmas? Or maybe it's because the missing persons case she's just caught looks like a hoax from a mile off? Or is it because she's just been left a huge amount of money.?

 One thing's for certain: Steel's having a bad day, and she's hell bent on making sure Constable Guthrie has one too.
