Dark Blood

Stuart MacBride hat bereits in einigen Berufen gearbeitet, bevor er sich dem Schreiben zuwandte. Die dunklen Wasser von Aberdeen war sein erster Roman mit dem Ermittler Logan McRae und sorgte in Großbritannien sofort für Furore. Der Roman wurde als bestes Krimidebüt des Jahres mit dem Barry Award ausgezeichnet. Mittlerweile liegen bereits mehrere Logan-McRae-Romane vor, die die Bestsellerlisten stürmten. Außerdem wurde die Serie als Favorit der Leser mit dem 'Dagger in the Library' ausgezeichnet. Stuart MacBride lebt mit seiner Frau im Nordosten Schottlands.

'A terrific writer ! McRae makes John Rebus seem like a compliant wimp ! bodies abound, blood flows freely and McRae is a delight' The Times 'One of the most disturbing and uncompromising novels in the highly successful Logan McRae series ! admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven -- or should that be hell?' Express 'Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field ! The McRae books sport some of the pithiest snapshots of urban life this side of Irvine Welsh ! etched in the darkest of hues and with dialogue so sharp you might cut yourself' Independent Praise for Stuart MacBride: 'Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride's Logan McRae series of novels are a real treat.' Simon Kernick 'Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order by a writer whose dark star is most definitely on the rise.' Mark Billingham 'If you're looking for taut narrative, gut-churning incident, strong characterisation, all shot through with savagely dark humour, then look no further' Reginald Hill 'Ferocious and funny' Val McDermid 'Cracking dialogue ! a standout crime novel' Metro 'Makes Ian Rankin's noir seem blanc' Observer Praise for Stuart MacBride 'The novel rattles along like a bolting horse and the dialogue crackles like a firework display ! DI Steel should be declared a national treasure' Andrew Taylor, Spectator 'Grim, gritty and great fun' Daily Sport 'Riveting and gruesome' Daily Telegraph 'Stuart MacBride goes straight for the jugular with a tight, thrilling novel' Glasgow Herald' Another brilliant, riveting police procedural. I'm green with envy!'
