Cold Granite

Fans of the tartan noir novels of Ian Rankin should enjoy Stuart McBride`s debut, a police procedural set in Aberdeen, Scotland--the so-called Granite City. Freshly returned to work after recovering from stab wounds, Detective Sergeant Logan McRae must cope with a stern new boss, decidedly unfriendly treatment from the department`s chief pathologist (and McRae`s ex-girlfriend), the shocking brutality of a serial killer who targets children, and a vigilante-minded public fired up by the confidential details of the killer`s depredations, which someone has leaked to the press.
