Detective Sergeant Logan McRae’s only chance of getting out from under Detective Inspectors Steel and Insch is to get noticed. Not that any of his cases are the type that he wants to get noticed for.For starters, someone dumped a dying man at the hospital, and the team can’t ID him or the person who dumped him. Even worse, McRae is also after a knife-wielding eight-year-old who is stirring up bad press for the department that does little for their case against Robert Macintyre, Aberdeen’s beloved star soccer player. They’re convinced he’s a rapist, but they can’t hold him long enough to prove it. Catching these perps is thankless work, and McRae’s chances of getting rewarded are as bad as Aberdeen’s without their leading goal scorer.With his third masterful installment in a series that combines suspense with a dark and distinctly Scottish wit, award-winning author Stuart MacBride is setting a blistering standard for the next generation of crime writers.
Praise for Bloodshot and Stuart MacBride“MacBride fills his Aberdeen fun house with hearty, clever, and usually profane humor that lightens every chapter. . . . As Ian Rankin’s long-running crime series begins to sound like a leaky bagpipe, Scottish writers such as MacBride arise to take up the kilt-waving in earnest.”---Pittsburgh Post-Gazette“MacBride offsets the grim goings-on with a cast of irrepressible characters whose banter is bawdy and crime solving talents sublime.”---Booklist (starred review)“MacBride deftly blends a suspenseful storyline and subversive wit."---Booklist (starred review)“Vivid. . . . With a dose of sharp wit, MacBride effortlessly interweaves the plot strands while conjuring up three-dimensional characters.”---Publishers Weekly (starred review)“What is there in the Scottish air that makes its new writers among the best in the business?”---Chicago Tribune on Dying Light
