Summary

The second crime thriller in the No.1 bestselling Logan McRae series from Stuart MacBride.

Even the darkest crimes will come to light…

‘Stuart MacBride is a damned fine writer’ Peter James

Crime never sleeps.

Down by the docks, in the dead of night, a woman is hunted down and killed. For DS Logan McRae, it’s just the beginning of another nightmare.

Neither does this killer.

As the day dawns and the body count rises, Logan realises that this isn’t just an isolated murder. It’s far more disturbing than that.
A killer is on the loose and wreaking havoc – and Logan is running out of time to stop them.

And the clock is ticking . . .

Critic reviews

"The story is violent and bloody; some of the crimes are vicious, and MacBride doesn't hold back on the details. But there is plenty of dark humour, and a warmth to the portrayal of the police officers which lightens an otherwise grim tale by this very talented writer." ( Sunday Telegraph)

Great story from the Granite City!

I am really enjoying this series of books. The characters are great and I love that they are set in the granite city....not far from home. Lots going on in the stories and I am ready for the next one!

Dreadful narration

Would you listen to Dying Light again? Why?

love the story but will probably read the book again rather than listen

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of John Sessions?

Steve Worsley or Stuart himself, narration was terrible

Any additional comments?

would love an unabridged version read by Steve Worsley

Brilliant

Another winning storyline, well written and narrated as usual, keeping your attention all the way through, with twists when you least expect them, look forward to more of the same

Gritty crime at its grungy best

Great story and brilliant narration with wonderful dialogue laugh out loud filthy black humour so well worth a read. The only negative - I would have loved a full unabridged version.

Another fabulous story

Loved this book, full of twists and turns not forgetting the ‘bust out laughing’ one liners we have come to expect from the familiar characters. Wonderful story expertly narrated as usual by John Sessions.
Thank you Stuart MacBride *****

Excellent

I decided to carry on with the series of these books as very much liked the first one. The characters are great. I like the sense of humour and seeing how the characters are evolving. Looking forward to the next book now.

2nd book in

Kind of just thrown into the deep end and spent the first few chapters trying to work out who is who and what's what. The crimes are good and interesting so will keep going onto book 3.
