About the Book

With this follow-up to Cold Granite, deemed an "impressive debut" by Publishers Weekly, Stuart MacBride proves himself to be a rising star of crime fiction--and in Dying Light, the action is more explosive than ever... A FALL FROM GRACE On the coast of Scotland, in the "Granite City" of Aberdeen, Detective Sergeant Logan McRae is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Bumped to the homicide department's "Screw-up Squad" after a sting operation gone wrong, Logan will do anything to prove that he doesn't belong there...even if it means working overtime on two baffling cases: a fatal act of arson in a squatter's apartment and the murder of a prostitute in the city's notorious red-light district. A DEADLY UPRISING But when it rains in Aberdeen, it pours--and soon Logan is up to his neck in danger. Turns out the two cases might have something dangerously in common. Now, enlisting the help of his former D.I., his forensic-pathologist ex-girlfriend, and his fellow "no-hopers" on the squad, Logan is charged not only with solving a series of vicious crimes but saving his own life--and reputation--in the process.

MacBride is starting at the very top with his first book, which approaches the level of Michael Connelly's best work.... MacBride's writing is so good here that it's hard to believe it's not a sign of staying power." ---"Flint"" Journal" " " "Tartan Noir has a fresh new voice with an Aberdeen brogue in Stuart MacBride, whose first mystery, "Cold Granite,""" bids well to keep up with Ian Rankin and Denise Mina.... "Cold Granite" is never as dark and dangerous as the work of Mina and Rankin.... The police procedural gains a warmth and camaraderie that tougher and more cynical novels lack." ---"Rocky Mountain News" "Logan---a troubled man but blessedly not a suicidal booze hound like other Scots coppers of recent and current memory---does his job with skill and humanity." ---"Chicago"" Tribune" "Newcomer Stuart MacBride joins an illustrious roster of Scottish crime writers.... By tangling together a half-dozen competing plotlines, MacBride keeps readers off-balance, even those who think they can see the tripwires." ---"Houston"" Chronicle" " " "MacBride introduces a very likable and human protagonist.... A suspenseful and compelling mystery, this is strongly recommended." ---"Library Journal" (starred review) "MacBride's impressive first outing has plenty of atmosphere, subversive humor, and a sinuous plot reminiscent of fellow countryman Ian Rankin." ---"Booklist" (starred review) ""Cold Granite" is a powerful reminder that the best contemporary crime fiction iscoming out of Scotland. Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best." ---Val McDermid, author of "The Torment of Others" "Atmospheric, dazzling, and completely compelling, "Cold Granite" marks the debut of an amazing new voice in crime fiction. Scotland's Stuart MacBride is one of the best writers to come out of the U.K. in a long time." ---Deborah Crombie, author of "In a Dark House"
