Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. at the start of McBride's vivid third Det. Sgt. Logan MacRae police procedural (after 2006's Dying Light), the Aberdeen police, on the trail of a serial rapist, catch Scottish sports hero Rob Macintyre stalking tarted-up Woman Police Constable Jackie Watson, MacRae's live-in lover. Macintyre's arrest ignites public sentiment against the police, stifling the investigation. Meanwhile, a second case drags MacRae into the local s&m scene, where he gets an unexpected education in the sordid details from his red-faced assistant constable, and then he has to track down an eight-year-old killer. The one thing the three cases have in common is that nothing is what it seems. MacRae bounces back and forth among them, yanked between two cranky, childlike detective inspectors demanding overtime and loyalty. When Jackie starts behaving suspiciously, Logan fears the truth may be worse than unfaithfulness. With a dose of sharp wit, MacBride effortlessly interweaves the plot strands while conjuring up three-dimensional characters who slog through the relentless sleet of Aberdeen. (Aug.)

From AudioFile

A rapist/torturer is loose in Aberdeen, and DS Logan McRaeÕs tough girlfriend is acting as bait for the perpetrator. At the same time, McRae is dealing with the community of bondage and sadomasochism, as well as an 8-year-old murderer. This gritty police procedural has flashes of humor that break up the grimness, and Jonathan Hackett does an excellent job with both. The strength of the story is the personalities of the characters--some engaging, some frightening. They present no problem for Hackett. Further, he handles the various Scots accents with ease. While listeners will need strong stomachs to get through the graphic scenes, theyÕll be well rewarded in the end.
