L'inspecteur chef Logan McRae n'a plus le vent en poupe. Son patron est dans le coma par sa faute, et ni ses brillants états de service ni l'arrestation d'un pédophile quelques mois plus tôt ne peuvent lui éviter d'intégrer l'équipe des Tocards où ses supérieurs l'ont relégué. Mais Logan McRae est déterminé à redorer son blason, même s'il doit pour cela élucider simultanément deux affaires épineuses: l'incendie criminel d'un squat - six morts - et l'assassinat d'une prostituée bien connue des services, dont on a retrouvé le corps martyrisé sur les docks.

Mortelle Ecosse

A gripping standalone thriller from the Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author of the Logan McRae series.

 Beware of the dark.

 Welcome to the Misfit Mob - where Police Scotland dumps the officers it can't get rid of, but wants to. Officers like DC Callum MacGregor, lumbered with all the boring go-nowhere cases. So when an ancient mummy is found at the Oldcastle tip, it's his job to track down its owner.

 But then Callum uncovers links between his mummified corpse and three missing young men, and life starts to get a lot more interesting.

 No one expects the Misfit Mob to solve anything, but right now they're all that stands between a killer's victims and a slow lingering death. Can they prove everyone wrong before someone else dies?

A Dark So Deadly

Écosse, paysages glacés de l'hiver avec pluie, neige et verglas. C'est là, dans la petite ville d'Old Castle, qu'officie le constable Ash Henderson. Sa tâche : retrouver le tueur en série que les tabloïds appellent le «Birthday Boy», sa spécialité étant de kidnapper des jeunes filles de moins de treize ans, de les torturer et, le jour de leur anniversaire, d'envoyer une carte postale à leurs parents pour les rendre fous de douleur. Flanqué d'Alice McDonald, une profileuse portée sur l'alcool pour oublier les horreurs auxquelles elle est confrontée, Ash a enfin le ferme espoir de retrouver le monstre lorsque des restes de victimes sont découverts, ouvrant ainsi de nouvelles pistes de recherches. C'est qu'un terrible secret le motive: Rebecca, sa propre fille, a été enlevée par l'assassin. Le révéler à quiconque serait se voir viré de l'enquête. Impensable. Livre dur, à la limite de l'insoutenable, Surtout, ne pas savoir nous plonge dans un univers où tueur et flic se côtoient sur les deux versants de la même horreur.

A Sunday Times bestseller for the w/c 11th January 2021

 A house of secrets.As a massive storm batters the Scottish coast, Gordon Smith's home is falling into the sea. The trouble is: that's where he's been hiding the bodies.

 A killer on the run.It's too dangerous to go near the place, so there's no way of knowing how many people he's murdered. Or how many more he'll kill before he's caught.

 An investigator with nothing to lose.As more horrors are discovered, ex-detective Ash Henderson is done playing nice. He's got a killer to catch, and God help anyone who gets in his way.

 'Stuart MacBride's deft plotting and whipcrack dialogue, along with a strong sense of place, make The Coffinmaker's Garden a must read. If you like your serial killers with lashings of dark humour, this is for you' Peter Robinson, no. 1 bestselling author of the DCI Banks series

 'The Coffinmaker's Garden is brilliantly creepy, with the most cleverly conceived crime scene I've ever read. His legions of fans will love this - it's an unmistakable Stuart MacBride cocktail of dark violence and even darker humour' Jane Casey, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Cutting Place

The Coffinmaker’s Garden

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?

 Someone's leaving little knots of bones on DI Logan McRae's doorstep, but he's got bigger concerns. Rival drug gangs are fighting over product and territory; two teenage lovers are missing; someone's crippling Asian immigrants; and Logan's 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.

Close to the Bone

A gripping serial killer thriller with a twist - from No. 1 bestseller Stuart MacBride

 This time the serial killer picked the wrong family.

 'MacBride is a damned fine writer' Peter James

 They call him Sawbones: a serial killer touring America kidnapping young women.

 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 just before their thirteenth birthday, killing them slowly, then torturing their families with his homemade cards.

 But Ash hasn't told anyone what really happened to Rebecca - they all think she ran away - 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 murderer gets what he deserves.
