Dont stoke the flames unless you want to get burned . . . Its not going well for Aberdeen's NE Division: half the force is off sick, all leave has been cancelled, someone has firebombed a hotel full of migrants and theres a massive protest march happening this Saturday. With officers dropping like flies, Detective Inspector Logan McRae has to kick off a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff of misfits, idiots and malingerers until the top brass can arrange back-up from other divisions. But, as bad as everything seems, things are 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
