THIS HOUSE OF BURNING BONES (LOGAN MCRAE 13) (PB)

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. But, as bad as everything seems, it's all about to get much, much worse.
