Synopsis
While illegally street racing in the underground tunnels of Glasgow, four Harley Davidson riders make a horrifying discovery. A dead man left in the darkness, hands together on his chest as if peacefully laid to rest. The cause of death unclear, the only clues being a half glass of red wine, and a partially eaten chunk of bread by his side that echo the ancient religious practice of sin-eating. Called to the scene, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is perplexed by the lack of evidence. But when another body is found nearby her flat set up in the same manner, she fears a forensically aware killer stalks the city and is marking his victims with his unique signature. Even more worryingly, the killer appears to be using skills he could have learnt while attending one of her forensic science lectures at Glasgow University. There are signs that Rhona is being targeted. That he is playing with her and the police, drawing them into a deadly race against time to identify him before any more bodies are found . . .

Review
Overall, this is a cracking five star read that is both dark and complex. Heartily recommended . Go on, treat yourself, you know you want to . . . * Love and Deadly * Anderson is a master storyteller, filling her novels with engaging characters, clever, compelling, contemporary plotlines and a beautifully descriptive prose that belies the death and darkness of her powerful, pulsating crime mysteries * Blackpool Gazette * They don't call Lin Anderson the Queen of Tartan Noir for nothing! [She] is an expert at atmospheric narrative and with one swoop of her pen her prose will chill you to the bone * chaptersinmylife * Lin Anderson is one of Scotland's national treasures - don't be fooled by comparisons, her writing is unique, bringing warmth and depth to even the seediest parts of Glasgow. Lin's Rhona MacLeod is a complex and compelling heroine who just gets better with every outing -- Stuart MacBride The bleak landscape is beautifully described, giving this popular series a new lease of life * Sunday Times * Shades of The Wicker Man, with a touch of Agatha Christie. Superb * Daily Mail * The best Scottish crime series since Rebus * Daily Record *
