Product Description

Product Description
A Driftnet catches everything. A teenager is found strangled and mutilated in a Glasgow flat. Leaving her warm bed and lover in the middle of the night to take forensic samples from the body, Rhona MacLeod soon recognises the likeness between herself and the dead boy and is horrified to think that he might be the son she gave up for adoption seventeen years before. Amidst the turmoil of her own love life and consumed by guilt from her past, Rhona sets out to find both the boy's killer and her own son. But the powerful men who use the Internet to trawl for vulnerable boys have nothing to lose and everything to gain by Rhona MacLeod's death.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and disturbing!, 10 May 2009
By Big Bertha (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
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.
