Nothing keeps a crime hidden like fear...
'Stuart MacBride's thrillers just keep getting better' Express
'You can't be an eyewitness if I cut out your eyes...'
Someone's preying on Aberdeen's growing Polish population. The pattern
is always the same: men abandoned on building sites, barely alive, their
eyes gouged out and the sockets burned.
With the victims too scared to talk, and the only witness a paedophile
who's on the run, Grampian Police is getting nowhere fast. The attacks
are brutal, they keep on happening, and soon DS Logan McRae will have to
decide how far he's prepared to bend the rules to get a result.
The Granite City is on the brink of gang warfare; the investigating team
are dogged by allegations of corruption; and Logan's about to come to
the attention of Aberdeen's most notorious crime lord...
