The Missing and the Dead (Logan McRae, Book 9)

Description

The ninth Logan McRae thriller from the No. 1 bestseller Stuart MacBride. 'Dark and griping. A riveting page-turner' Independent on Sunday One mistake can cost you everything... A little girl's body washes up just outside the sleepy coastal town of Macduff, kicking off a major manhunt. Officially, the investigation is out of Sergeant Logan McRae's hands, but DCI Steel's Major Investigation Team, drafted in from Aberdeen, is getting nowhere fast. Steel is running out of ideas and time. She wants Logan back on her team, and doesn't care how she gets him there. One thing is clear: there are dangerous predators lurking in the wilds of Aberdeenshire, and not everyone's getting out of this alive...
