      Discover the gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Logan McRae series THE CLOCK IS TICKING... Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job - transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle's biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the 'Fortnight Killer'. Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again. This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation's front line, he's lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A sarcastic know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence. It's been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation's running out of time. Angus's shiny new job might just be the death of him... Praise For Stuart MacBride: 'Fast, hard, authentic - and different' Lee Child 'A terrific writer' The Times 'MacBride is a damned fine writer - no one does dark and gritty like him' Peter James 'Dark and gripping. A riveting page-turner' Independent on Sunday 'Unmissable ... superb storytelling' Sun Stuart MacBride, Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller, November 2023

      In a Place of Darkness
    • 2023

      It was supposed to be an easy job. All Detective Constable Edward Reekie had to do was pick up a dying prisoner from HMP Grampian and deliver him somewhere to live out his last few months in peace. From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy, snow-dusted village, nestled deep in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew, because Glenfarach is the final sanctuary for people who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population. Edward's new boss, DI Montgomery-Porter, insists they head back to Aberdeen before the approaching blizzards shut everything down, but when an ex-cop-turned-gangster is discovered tortured to death in his bungalow, someone needs to take charge.

      »Stuart MacBride ist mit jedem Thriller ein Lektüre-Muss für mich. Immer schnell, hart, authentisch – und anders.« Lee Chid »Helft mir!« Diese Worte hinterlässt ein brutaler Serienkiller an jedem Tatort, geschrieben mit dem Blut der Opfer. Die Medien nennen ihn den Bloodsmith. Vergleiche mit Jack the Ripper machen im schottischen Oldcastle die Runde, und selbst nach Monaten hat die Polizei noch keine Spur. Detective Sergeant Lucy McVeigh sucht verzweifelt nach Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den Opfern, nach einem Muster oder übersehenen Hinweisen. Da schlägt der Bloodsmith erneut zu. Es scheint aber noch eine zweite Bedrohung in der Stadt zu geben – davon ist ein junger Mann überzeugt, der um sein Leben fürchtet und Lucy um Hilfe bittet. »Kein Zweifel: Stuart MacBride ist einer der besten Thrillerautoren des Landes.« Daily Mail

      Das Blut der Opfer
    • 2022

      »Stuart MacBride ist ein Lektüre-Muss für mich ... immer schnell, hart, authentisch – und anders.« Lee Child Eine dunkle Nacht in einer abgelegenen Gegend Schottlands. Professor Nicholas Wilson, ein so prominenter wie lautstarker Verfechter streitbarer politischer Thesen, verlässt wie jeden Abend mit seinem Hund das Haus. Doch dieses Mal kommt er nicht zurück. Und die zahlreichen Blutspuren auf seinem Küchentisch lassen das Schlimmste befürchten. Inspector Logan McRae würde diesen brisanten Fall gerne anderen überlassen, doch dann verschwindet ein zweiter Mann unter ähnlichen Umständen. Und als bei der BBC Scotland ein Paket eingeht mit zwei grausam abgetrennten, wie zum Gebet gefalteten Händen, gerät die Situation außer Kontrolle. Irgendjemand da draußen will eine Botschaft loswerden. Eine Botschaft aus Blut ... »Was für ein großartiger Autor. Sein Ermittler Logan McRae ist für jeden Spannungsfan eine wahre Freude.« The Times

      THE CHILLING AND COMPULSIVE NEW NOVEL FROM THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR. 'We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.' It's been seventeen months since the Bloodsmith butchered his first victim and Operation Maypole is still no nearer catching him. The media is whipping up a storm, the top brass are demanding results, but the investigation is sinking fast. Now isn't the time to get distracted with other cases, but Detective Sergeant Lucy McVeigh doesn't have much choice. When Benedict Strachan was just eleven, he hunted down and killed a homeless man. No one's ever figured out why Benedict did it, but now, after sixteen years, he's back on the streets again - battered, frightened, convinced a shadowy 'They' are out to get him, and begging Lucy for help. It sounds like paranoia, but what if he's right? What if he really is caught up in something bigger and darker than Lucy's ever dealt with before? What if the Bloodsmith isn't the only monster out there? And what's going to happen when Lucy goes after them? Praise for Stuart MacBride: 'A brutal, visceral read, laced with the blackest of humour and travelling to some very dark places' Guardian 'A magnetic mix of creepy places, dark humour, horror and violence' Sun AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW.
