  It's the summer of '74 . . .

Club, Film Threat, the Hollywood Reporter, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, made a splash with his debut novel, Charlesgate Confidential, which Stephen King called "terrific" and "a fun machine . . . the white-knuckle kind."

  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… 
  In this Sunday Times bestselling book, the author Stuart MacBride takes us on a thrilling journey into the heart of the police procedural. The action-packed narrative is filled with suspense and mystery, making it a top choice for fans of literary fiction and adventure. 
  For fans of Jd Kirk (A Killer of Influence), Ed James (Where the Bodies Lie), David J. Gatward (Grimm Up North), Tg Reid (The Killing Parade), and J M Dalgliesh (When Death Calls).
