  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).

  When sisters Rachel and Jennifer Murdock receive a letter from Miriam Hamilton, the daughter of the man who, decades earlier, swindled their father, inviting them to her luxurious home and offering financial amends, the sisters accept and head off with their beloved cat, Samantha, in tow. 
   
  Shortly after they arrive, they meet their host―or rather, her body. Miriam has been murdered in her bed, and two things become clear: their invitation came with strings attached, and around the many corners of Miriam's capacious home, strange things are afoot. 
   
  There is no shortage of possible motives for Miriam's murder, given her ruthless business practices and greedy nature. The appearance and subsequent disappearance of a bloodstained doll, which Miriam’s two grown stepchildren from previous marriages seem to know more about than they want to let on, raises Rachel's suspicion but the involvement of the local sheriff investigating the case is what ultimately throws Rachel for a loop. No matter―together with the reluctant Jennifer and curious kitty Samantha, amateur sleuth Rachel is going to make sense of this befuddling case, even if things aren’t what they seem.

  A gathering of seven bestselling crime writers at a Scottish Highlands book festival turns deadly in a wickedly dark thriller that pays homage to Agatha Christie’s classic murder mysteries, from the bestselling author of The Bonnie Dead. 
   
  When legendary crime novelist William MacRae is found dead in suspicious circumstances at his Glasgow home, Police Scotland’s premier investigator DCI John Lomond is put on the case. 
  After discovering a list of seven bestselling authors – all old friends of MacRae’s – Lomond and his team head north to the Ullapool Book Festival, where the seven are gathering to remember their fallen friend. 
  But a vicious storm is closing in. And not everyone, it seems, has fond memories of MacRae. Or each other. 
  Cut off from the outside world at a remote country home, it doesn’t take long for the whisky to flow, old resentments to reignite…and another dead body to appear. 
  Over the course of one weekend, Lomond must sift through a web of red herrings, secrets, and lies. 
  One of them is a killer. But can Lomond unmask them before it’s too late?
