A SONG FOR THE DYING

A new Logan McRae thriller from the bestselling author of Cold Granite and Dying Light, set in gritty Aberdeen.

Broken Skin

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

The sixth gripping thriller in the No.1 bestselling crime series from the award-winning Stuart MacBride. 

 Scotland's finest see first-hand how starting again can be murder.

 'MacBride is a damned fine writer' Peter James

 Everyone deserves a second chance.

 Richard Knox has done his time and seen the error of his ways. He wants to leave his dark past behind, so why shouldn't he be allowed to live wherever he wants?

 Detective Sergeant Logan McRae isn't thrilled about having to help a violent rapist settle into Aberdeen. Even worse, he's stuck with the man who put Knox behind bars, DSI Danby, supposedly to 'keep an eye on things'.

 Only things are about to go very, very wrong.

 Edinburgh gangster Malk the Knife wants a slice of Aberdeen's latest development boom. Local crime lord Wee Hamish Mowat has ominous plans for Logan's future. And Knox's past isn't finished with him yet.

Dark Blood

Écosse, paysages glacés de l'hiver avec pluies, neiges et verglas. C'est là, dans la petite ville d'Old Castle, qu'officie le détective 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. Flanqué d'Alice McDonald, une profileuse qui sombre dans l'alcool - sans avoir le vin gai - pour oublier les horreurs auxquelles elle est confrontée, Ash a enfin le ferme espoir de retrouver le monstre lorsque des restes des 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, c'est se voir viré de l'enquête et ça, il n'en est pas question pour lui. 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.

Surtout, ne pas savoir

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

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.
