Full Description
'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 Lied
The 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 . . .
