Книга: MacBride Stuart «Dying Light»
Производитель: "HarperCollins Publishers" A new Logan McRae thriller from the bestselling author of`Cold Granite`, set to rival Ian Rankin. It`s summertime in the Granite city: the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and people are dying! It starts with Rosie Williams, a prostitute, stripped naked and beaten to death down by the docks -- the heart of Aberdeen`s red light district. For DS Logan McRae it`s a bad start to another bad day. Only a few short months ago he was the golden boy of Grampian police. But one botched raid later he`s palmed off on a DI everyone knows is a jinx, waiting for the axe to fall with all the other rejects in the`Screw-up Squad`. Logan`s not going to take it lying down. He`s determined to escape DI Steel and her unconventional methods, and the best way to do that is to crack the case in double-quick time. But Rosie Williams won`t be the only one making an unscheduled trip to the morgue. Across the city six people are burning to death in a petrol-soaked squat, the doors and windows screwed shut from the outside. And despite Logan`s best efforts, it`s not long before another prostitute turns up on the slab! Stuart MacBride`s characteristic grittiness, gallows humour and lively characterization make this his second unputdownable novel, confirming his status as the rising star of crime fiction.
