Book description
Caro Ramsay's Singing to the Dead is the second instalment
in the Anderson and Costello series.
Bitter betrayal. Sweet revenge.
Two seven-year-old boys have been abducted from the streets of
Glasgow. Both had already endured years of neglect and betrayal - but
for Detective Inspector Colin Anderson the case is especially
disturbing, because the boys look so much like his own son Peter...
Then, with police resources stretched to breaking point, a simple
house fire turns into a full-scale murder hunt. An invisible killer is
picking off victims at random and, if DS Costello's hunch is correct,
committing an ingenious deception.
As his squad struggles to work both cases, DI Anderson learns that
deception and betrayal come in many guises. For while the boys'
abductor is still out there no child is safe - as young Peter Anderson
is about to find out...
Reissued with a stunning new package, Caro Ramsay's Anderson &
Costello thrillers have been widely recognised as one of the most
significant new series in the genre in recent years and Ramsay's
utterly unique investigators are ready to become the nation's
favourite Scottish cop duo. Absolution is the amazing opening
to this stunning series. Subsequent titles include Dark Water
and Singing to the Dead. Fans of Ian Rankin and Val McDermid
will love this series.
