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.

 The FBI's investigating - but getting nowhere.

 The latest victim is Laura Jones. Sixteen years old. Pretty. Blonde. And the daughter of one of New York's most notorious gangsters. Laura's Dad doesn't care about the law. What he wants is revenge. And he knows just the guys to get it.

 This time, Sawbones picked on the wrong family.

Sawbones: A Novella

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)

Four-year-old David Reid's body is discovered in a ditch, strangled, mutilated and a long time dead... Set in Aberdeen, where the rainy season lasts all year, criminal gangs vie for supremacy on the streets and the oil industry brings an influx of wealth and vice, this thriller is from a writer with an observant eye and a Scottish sense of humour.

Cold Granite

A brilliantly twisty, 80-page novella from the No. 1 bestselling author of the Logan McRae series. Including an extract from his new Logan novel, THE MISSING AND THE DEAD.

 It's the night of the big Referendum, and all Acting Detective Inspector Logan McRae has to do is find a missing 'No' campaigner. Should be easy enough.

 But, as usual, DCI Steel has plans of her own. As the votes are counted there's trouble brewing in the pubs and on the streets of Aberdeen.

 Logan's picked up a promising lead, but all is not quite what it seems, and things are about to go very, very wrong.

The 45% Hangover [A Logan and Steel novella]

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

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.
