Book description
The Blood of Crows is the fourth instalment in Caro Ramsay's

For one Scottish cop the beat is about to get dark and very bloody .

DI Colin Anderson is having a bad week. His conviction of paedophile
Skelpie Fairbairn is declared unsafe - putting Fairbairn back on
Glasgow's streets and leaving Anderson under investigation.
Add to this a gangster torched alive, a teenage boy tortured then
dropped off a bridge and the suicide of a cop who worked an unsolved
child kidnapping way back in 1996 and Anderson's got his hands full.
Then one night, a young girl is tied to the river bank and left for
the tide. Anderson gets there, but she dies in his arms.
Working round the clock his team discover these strange crimes are
linked to an elusive criminal mastermind known as The Puppeteer. But
unable to find him, unable to stop the murders, Anderson is forced to
follow the only lead he has - Skelpie Fairbairn . . .
But which is worse - The devil you don't know, or the one you do . . .?
