Summary

A brilliantly twisty, 80-page novella from the number-one best-selling author of the Logan McRae series. Including an extract from his new Logan novel, The Missing and the Dead.

It's the night of the big Referendum, and all Acting Detective Inspector Logan McRae has to do is find a missing ‘No' campaigner. Should be easy enough.... But, as usual, DCI Steel has plans of her own.

As the votes are counted, there's trouble brewing in the pubs and on the streets of Aberdeen. Logan's picked up a promising lead, but all is not quite what it seems, and things are about to go very, very wrong....

Critic reviews

Praise for Stuart MacBride:

“New Logan McRae novels are close to the top of my unmissable list, and yet again MacBride delivers. His chaotic cop hero is at his best. Superb storytelling.” (Sun)
“Another from MacBride's fantastic series of Logan McRae novels. A real page-turner.” (Sunday Mirror)
“Stuart's meticulous research shows. At times it feels like you are sitting in the back of a police car overhearing conversations between real policemen.” (Sunday Sport)
“Another riveting page-turner...emotional and affecting.” (Independent on Sunday)
“Skilful storytelling...strong characterization...both intriguing and engrossing.” (Laura Wilson, Guardian)
“The multiple plots move fast.” (Independent)
“MacBride is the natural heir to the late and much lamented Reginald Hill.” (Andrew Taylor, Spectator)
“MacBride is a damned fine writer - no one does dark and gritty like him.” (Peter James)
“Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order.” (Mark Billingham)
“Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field.” (Independent)
“Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven - or should that be hell?” (Express)
“Ferocious and funny.” (Val McDermid)
“Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride's novels are a real treat.” (Simon Kernick)

Brilliant and so funny

DCI Steel is the best. RG is the funniest crime writer with the most serious of stories but this is just hilarious. No one can match RG for descriptions even though some writers try. Roll on the next book and the next. I can't read them quick enough.

Two old friends are back; brilliantly bitching as ever!

Luckily I didn't read this is public, or I'd've been branded a lunatic for laughing out loud! The only bad thing to say is it was over too quickly. Logan and Steel have become firm friends over the years, and this story just leaves me wanting more. Stuart Macbride is a great writer, and I urge you, if you haven't done already, to read the rest of the series, and give Halfhead a try too; I didn't think it was my cup of tea, but it was! Thanks again Stuart!

Funniest

This is a bit short for the price of one point. But it is the best laugh I've had for a long time. When are they making a TV series? This would make the funniest part of all. I'm still giggling

Very entertaining short story

Laughed out loud on several occasions. The two main characters one liners were brilliantly funny

Like Larel and Hardy Go Scots.... 😁

Hilarious and deeply imaginable scenario with our two feckless coppers stuck in a rather embarrassing situation....
Wish it had been longer...... 💖
