Summary

Two bloody brilliant short stories from number-one best-selling crime writer Stuart MacBride, featuring DS Logan McRae and his boss, DI Steel.

'Stramash': something fishy is happening on the isle of Jura. DS Logan McRae gets a phone call from DI Steel ordering him to come to the island at once. One freezing night's sleep in a hatchback and two storm-battered ferries later, Logan arrives - but there's no sign of Steel.

She's lumped him in the middle of a policing nightmare, with bodies and bullets and tiny, wee boats. And a dangerous hard man who's meant to be dead....

DI Steel's 'Bad Heir Day': why is DI Steel in an even worse mood than usual? Is it because it's Christmas? Or maybe it's because the missing persons case she's just caught looks like a hoax from a mile off. Or is it because she's just been left a huge amount of money?

One thing's for certain: Steel's having a bad day, and she's hell-bent on making sure Constable Guthrie has one, too.

Love Steel and Logan but these are weak stories

Listened to all Stuart Macbride books thoroughly enjoyed them but this was disappointing too short.

Stuart MacBride always a winner!!

Stuart is incapable of writing a bad book. His characterisations are amazing and the humour comes through every page despite the language and gross murders. Steel and Logan are the best partnership ever. Thank you Mr MacBride, Cant wait another 4 days for the next one!!!!!!!

Don't bother

Poor stories. Best to skip to the next epic. Don't waste your credit or cash! You won't miss anything.

Very disappointing

Really enjoyed all the previous stories. This is just going through the motions, not sure if the authors heart was in it. Sorry
