An ancient grave. A modern evil. The Dead and the Dying is the latest pulse-pounding instalment in Lin Anderson's Rhona MacLeod series.
'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' – Daily Mail
An ancient grave. A modern evil. The Dead and the Dying is a pulse-pounding instalment in the Rhona MacLeod series, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Martina Cole and Silent Witness.
In the dim morning light, Orkney’s Skaill Bay is the backdrop for a calamity of nature’s making. When forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod joins the rescue efforts as a volunteer, she uncovers more than she bargained for: a human skeleton entombed in a stone crypt.
The grave is believed to hail from the Viking Age, but Rhona's analysis of the content points to more recent and sinister evil. And a shadow is thrown over the investigation when the skeleton is finally identified – and unsettling connections emerge between the victim and the very people trying to solve the case.
As forensic clues lead Rhona to a second, horrifying discovery, the question looms: how many more secrets are concealed in the sand?
'Lin Anderson is one of Scotland’s national treasures' – Stuart MacBride, author of the Logan McRae series
'The best Scottish crime series since Rebus' – Daily Record
Readers love Lin Anderson:
'This series just keeps getting better'
'I was totally glued the whole way through'
'Atmospheric, descriptive, engrossing'
