What this book is about
A serial killer who dismembered his victims and stored the body parts was caught years ago in Aberdeen. Now the murders are happening again — either he has escaped, someone has copied him perfectly, or something else is happening. DS Logan McRae investigates in a case that puts the entire Aberdeen police under pressure from the media and from their own past. Stuart MacBride's fourth Logan McRae novel is his most graphic in terms of the specific horror of what has been done to the victims, and the pressure on the police department becomes a character in its own right.
