Summary

'MacBride is a masterful storyteller with a terrific eye for detail and razor-sharp wit. THIS HOUSE OF BURNING BONES is an absolute must-read.' – Karin Slaughter, author of This Is Why We LiedThe Granite City is ready to burn, and all it takes is a single spark . . .In the heat of a blistering summer, Aberdeen’s police are struggling: half the force is off sick, leave has been cancelled, someone’s firebombed a hotel full of migrants, and there’s a massive protest march happening this Saturday.With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae is forced to juggle cases and run a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions.It doesn’t help that the Aberdeen Examiner has just been bought by Natasha Agapova, a tabloid media tycoon hell-bent on blaming local police for everything. And she’s more than happy to fan the flames.But, as bad as everything seems, it’s all about to get much, much worse . . .* * *Praise for Stuart MacBride:'Dark and brilliantly written' – Linwood Barclay, author of I Will Ruin You'MacBride is a damned fine writer' – Peter James, author of Picture You Dead'Crime fiction of the highest order' – Mark Billingham, author of The Last Dance
