About this title

Review:

‘DYING LIGHT is a wonderfully gripping and grim second outing for Logan McRae ... Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order’ Mark Billingham

Praise for Stuart MacBride:

‘Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best’ Val McDermid

‘MacBride is a damned fine writer – no one does dark and gritty like him’ Peter James

‘A terrific writer ... Brilliant ... bodies abound, blood flows freely and McRae is a delight’ The Times

‘Those who like their crime thrillers diamond hard need look no further than Stuart MacBride ... He has few equals in this area’ Independent

From the Back Cover:

With this follow-up to COLD GRANITE, deemed an "impressive debut" by Publishers Weekly, Stuart MacBride proves himself to be a rising star of crime fiction—and this time, the action is more explosive than ever...

A FALL FROM GRACE
On the coast of Scotland, in the "Granite City" of Aberdeen, Detective Sergeant Logan MacRae is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Bumped to the homicide department's "Screw-up Squad" after a sting operation gone wrong, Logan will do anything to prove that he doesn't belong there...even if it means working overtime on two baffling cases: a fatal act of arson in a squatter's apartment and the murder of a prostitute in the city's notorious red-light district.

A DEADLY UPRISING
But when it rains in Aberdeen, it pours—and soon Logan is up to his neck in danger. Turns out the two cases might have something dangerously in common. Now, enlisting the help of his former D.I., his forensic-pathologist ex-girlfriend, and his fellow "no-hopers" on the squad, Logan is charged not only with solving a series of vicious crimes but saving his own life—and reputation—in the process.

"Well-written...savage, darkly comic." —Publishers Weekly

"Inventive and imaginative." —Dallas Morning News
