SHATTER THE BONES

A collection of interlinked tales of crime and retribution laced with dark humour, set around the festive season - from the No. 1 bestseller Stuart MacBride

 On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.

 Twelve days, twelve stories.

 Meet Fat Billy Partridge, possibly the worst cat-burglar ever; newbie drug-dealer Brian, who probably shouldn't be taking advantage of the job's fringe benefits; Philippe, a chef with anger-management issues and lots of very sharp knives; Mr Unwin, the undertaker with the golden touch; and Lord Peter Forsyth-Leven, MSP, learning the hard way that having it all means you've got so much more to lose.

 Thieves, drug dealers, lap-dancers, gangsters and even the odd good guy populate these twelve interlinked tales of crime and retribution set around the festive season.

Twelve Days of Winter: Crime at Christmas (short stories)

Twelve years. Twelve dead girls. Thirteen will be unlucky for some.

 The Number One bestselling crime thriller from the award-winning Stuart MacBride. A bloody, brilliant and brutal story of murder, kidnap and revenge.

 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 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.

Birthdays for the Dead

Crime & mysteryThe latest thriller featuring Logan McRae. Aberdeen's growing Polish population is under attack from a mutilating serial killer; McRae is sent to investigate, but with everyone too scared to talk, he gets nowhere fast. 'Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride's Logan McRae series of novels are a real treat' Simon Kernick

Blind Eye

The second crime thriller in the No.1 bestselling Logan McRae series from Stuart MacBride. 

 Even the darkest crimes will come to light.

 'Stuart MacBride is a damned fine writer' Peter James

 Crime never sleeps.

 Down by the docks, in the dead of night, a woman is hunted down and killed. For DS Logan McRae, it's just the beginning of another nightmare.

 Neither does this killer.

 As the day dawns and the body count rises, Logan realises that this isn't just an isolated murder. It's far more disturbing than that.

 A killer is on the loose and wreaking havoc - and Logan is running out of time to stop them.

 And the clock is ticking .

 Praise for 'Dying Light':

 'Another brilliant, riveting police procedural. I'm green with envy!' R D Wingfield

 'The story is violent and bloody; some of the crimes are vicious and MacBride doesn't hold back on the details. But there is plenty of dark humour, and a warmth to the portrayal of the police officers which lightens an otherwise grim tale by this very talented writer' Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph

Detective Sergeant Logan MacRae has been bumped to D.I. Roberta Steel's "Screw-up Squad" after a raid he led on a warehouse rumored to be full of stolen property ended with no arrests and one officer critically injured. The backstabbing, limelight-stealing, laziest D.I. on Aberdeen's police force, Steel's team is made up of the "no-hopers," the most worthless or inexperienced members of the homicide department, and Logan will do anything to prove he doesn't belong there. Including working overtime on two baffling cases: the murder by arson of six people, and the beating to death of a prostitute down by the docks, not a high priority compared to the fire. At least not until another prostitute ends up dead.
   
  Although both cases seem simple on the surface---turns out the fire's victims are part of a drug dealer's inner circle, and what fate is to be expected for working girls in Aberdeen's red-light district? --- in Stuart MacBride's hands, what's going on in this rainy Scottish city is bound to be much more complicated than it appears.
   
  A detailed authenticity combines with a dark Scottish sense of humor and a lively cast of characters in MacBride's unputdownable second novel, confirming his status as a rising star of crime fiction.

Mortelle Ecosse

Dans quelques jours, la ville d'Aberdeen va fêter Noël. Après un an de congé forcé, l'inspecteur Logan McRae écope de la pire affaire qui soit: le corps du petit David, quatre ans, a été retrouvé dans un fossé.Pas le temps de se remettre dans le bain, pas le temps d'amadouer la légiste - son ex -, pas le temps de museler la presse, pas le temps de démasquer le mouchard qui compromet l'enquête.À la morgue, les cadavres d'enfants s'entassent aussi vite que la neige sur les trottoirs de la cité de granit. Dur retour au boulot pour Logan McRae.

Cold Granite (Logan McRae, #1)

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.
