Summary

The number one best-selling detective series from the award-winning Stuart MacBride continues in this second crime thriller.

It's summertime in Scotland: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and people are dying....

It's summertime in the Granite City: the sun is shining, the sky is blue and people are dying....

It starts with Rosie Williams, a prostitute, stripped naked and beaten to death down by the docks - the heart of Aberdeen's red light district. For DS Logan McRae, it's a bad start to another bad day.

Rosie won't be the only one making an unscheduled trip to the morgue. Across the city six people are burning to death in a petrol-soaked squat, the doors and windows screwed shut from the outside.

And despite Logan's best efforts, it's not long before another prostitute turns up on the slab....

Critic reviews

" Dying Light is a wonderfully gripping and grim second outing for Logan McRae.... Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order." (Mark Billingham)

Great writing

It's pretty gory in places so just be warned. There is a lot of death in this one

Excellent second book

Enjoyed this better than the first.

From the get go this is a fast paced novel and once again Lazarus to solve a grim bunch of murders whilst dealing with problems in his personal life and a new boss.

Yes it’s a grim novel and it’s set in a grim city- Aberdeen my home town -but this just adds to the novel. I wondered along Union Street with Logan and up Tyerbagger Woods with Jackie plus many other places I’ve known all my life :)

Well narrated and worth my credit :)

Great again

I was surprised to thoroughly enjoy Cold Granite, since this is more my area in my work life than in my private life. However, having listened to that, I went straight on into Dying Light due to Stuart MacBride's gripping narrative. I highly recommend it.
