Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
This House of Burning Bones drops Detective Inspector Logan McRae into an Aberdeen pushed to breaking point. A relentless summer heatwave has left half the police force off sick, leave cancelled and tempers flaring. A hotel housing migrants has been firebombed, a major protest is looming, and the city is on edge.
With resources stretched to the limit, Logan is forced to take charge of a murder investigation with whatever remains. His team is a chaotic mix of the unwilling, the unreliable and the barely competent. As pressures mount, mistakes carry heavier consequences and the line between order and collapse begins to blur.
Darkly comic and sharply observed, This House of Burning Bones captures a city in crisis and a detective fighting to stay afloat. As events spiral, it becomes clear that the violence already unleashed is only the beginning.
