Description
The second crime thriller in the No.1 bestselling Logan McRae series from Stuart MacBride.
Even the darkest crimes will come to light...
'Stuart MacBride is a damned fine writer' Peter James
Crime never sleeps.
Down by the docks, in the dead of night, a woman is hunted down and killed. For DS Logan McRae, it's just the beginning of another nightmare.
Neither does this killer.
As the day dawns and the body count rises, Logan realises that this isn't just an isolated murder. It's far more disturbing than that.
A killer is on the loose and wreaking havoc - and Logan is running out of time to stop them.
And the clock is ticking ...
Praise for 'Dying Light':
'Another brilliant, riveting police procedural. I'm green with envy!' R D Wingfield
?
'The story is violent and bloody; some of the crimes are vicious and MacBride doesn't hold back on the details. But there is plenty of dark humour, and a warmth to the portrayal of the police officers which lightens an otherwise grim tale by this very talented writer' Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph
