What this book is about
The fifth Logan McRae novel. A series of vicious attacks on Eastern European migrant workers in Aberdeen — each victim deliberately blinded — has the city on edge. Logan is investigating while also navigating the relentless pressures of the Grampian Police politics that make his working life as difficult as the crimes. MacBride's Aberdeen crime fiction is among the darkest in British crime, and this entry is particularly unsparing.
