Review:
[a] sexy new rival for old Rebus... * The Scotsman * 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, author of Cold Granite and Dying Light * Forget Las Vegas, forget Miami, this is CSI Dowanhill and it'll keep your adrenalin pumping from the first terrifying page until the last. * Daily Record * I was absolutely gripped... very enjoyable and truly, truly disturbing... * Radio 5 Live * Chills the blood . . . would make Ian Rankin's old man Rebus choke on his whisky chaser. * Big Issue *
