The Innocent Dead

Praise for the Rhona MacLeod series

'Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has become one of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction - honourable, inquisitive and yet plagued by doubts and, sometimes, fears . . . As ever, the landscape is stunningly evoked and MacLeod's decency and humanity shine through on every page'
Daily Mail

'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'
Stuart MacBride

'Inventive, compelling, genuinely scary and beautifully written, as always'
Denzil Meyrick

'Greenock-born Anderson's work is sharper than a pathologist's scalpel. One of the best Scottish crime series since Rebus'
Shari Low, Daily Record

'Vivid and atmospheric . . . Enthralling'
Guardian

'The bleak landscape is beautifully described, giving this popular series a new lease of life'
Sunday Times

'Guaranteed to grip the reader's imagination'
Sunday Herald

'Hugely imaginative and exciting'
James Grieve (Emeritus Professor of Forensic Pathology)

'Chills the blood . . . Would make Ian Rankin's old man Rebus choke on his whisky chaser'
