Book description
The Number One bestselling crime series from the award-winning Stuart
MacBride. In this third DS Logan McRae thriller, The Granite City's
seedy side is about to be exposed…
A crime of passion, or cold-hearted murder?
A serial rapist is leaving a string of tortured women behind him, but
while DS Logan McRae's girlfriend, PC Jackie 'Ball Breaker' Watson, is
out acting as bait, he's trying to identify a blood-drenched body dumped
outside Accident and Emergency.
Logan's investigations suggest someone in the local bondage community
has developed a taste for violent death, and he soon finds himself
dragged into the twilight world of pornographers, sex-shops and S&M.
Meanwhile, the prime suspect in the rape case turns out to be Aberdeen
Football Club's star striker, and he has an alibi for every attack.
Logan thinks they've got it horribly wrong, but can he get anyone to
listen before the real rapist strikes again? Especially as Jackie is
convinced the footballer's guilty and she's hell-bent on a conviction at
any cost… Praise for Broken Skin:
