A mother is killed, her unborn child stolen - a depraved killer is stalking Glasgow's streets. The Reborn is the seventh novel in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.
'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' - Daily Mail
The body of a pregnant teenager is found at a Glasgow funfair, her unborn baby surgically removed. Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is called in to assist the police - suspecting the baby may still be alive, finding the killer becomes paramount.
Delving deeper into the twisted case shines suspicion on Jeff Coulter, prisoner and patient at a nearby psychiatric hospital, whose hobby is making Reborns - chillingly realistic baby dolls intended for bereaved parents. But how could he have orchestrated the murder from a secure facility?
With time running out, the investigation soon leads to four of the girl's friends, who have mysteriously all fallen pregnant at the same time, calling themselves the Daisy Chain. It becomes clear that something much more sinister is at play than Rhona could ever have imagined. A killer is out there, watching, waiting and ready to strike again . . .
