Product Description

Review
A cracking page-turner and impressive debut (News of the World )

[a] sexy new rival for old Rebus... (The Scotsman )

The gritty realism with which Anderson evokes her settings is one of the best things about this novel (The Times )

Lin Anderson is one of Scotland’s national treasures - ­ don’t be fooled by comparisons, her writing is unique, bringing warmth and depth to even the seediest parts of Glasgow. Lin’s Rhona MacLeod is a complex and compelling heroine who just gets better with every outing. (Stuart MacBride, author of Cold Granite )

Product Description
'The boy who had been abused and strangled in that hideous little room looked so like her, he could have been her brother..'

A teenage boy is found mutilated and murdered in a Glasgow flat. Forensic scientist Rhona Macleod is called to the scene, but her grim task is made even more unsettling than usual by the boy’s remarkable resemblance to her – and the fact that she gave up a baby boy for adoption seventeen years before.

Racked with guilt, she sets out to find the boy’s killer and determine whether he is her long-lost son – but in doing so, she immerses herself in the sinister world of an internet paedophile ring. Some very powerful men have a lot to lose if she succeeds, and everything to gain if she dies.
(20061202)

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and disturbing!, 10 May 2009
By Big Bertha (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Driftnet (Paperback)
A rent boy is left dead, strangled during sex and Forensic Scientist Rhona MacLeod is dragged from her bed and called to the scene.

Whilst the scene is disturbing enough, she is also shocked by how much the young man looks like her and fears he may be the son she gave up for adoption seventeen years ago.

This is a compelling novel that enters into the dark, seedy world of internet paedophile rings, preying on youngsters and grooming them to fulfil their sordid desires. Corruption, intrigue and a likeable heroine, it's got it all. A brave subject that whilst often uncomfortable reading, is realistic and tense enough in parts to make your skin crawl. The characters are well drawn and believable, from the monster who befriends the victims, the tired and jaded police officer to the Forensic Scientist with the messy love life.

This is the first of Lin Anderson's books I've read and I understand it to have been her debut novel. I look forward to reading more by this talented author.
