Crime

Still recovering from her previous case, Rhona MacLeod must investigate a series of brutal killings on the Isle of Skye. Time for the Dead is the fourteenth book in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series.

'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' – Daily Mail

Taking time away from work, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod returns to her roots on the Isle of Skye. But a chance encounter in the woods leads her to what seems to be a crime scene – without a victim. Could this be linked to a group of army medics, who visited the area while on leave from Afghanistan and have since gone missing from the island? Enlisting the help of local tracker dog, Rhona starts searching for a connection.

Two days later, a body is found at the base of the famous cliff known as Kilt Rock. The victim's face and identity are obliterated by the fall. Rhona suspects it is the work of a killer and, as connections form with an ongoing operation in Glasgow, DS Michael McNab is drawn into the investigation.

The island’s unforgiving conditions close in, and Rhona must find out what really happened to the group in Afghanistan – as the consequences may be being playing out in brutal killings on the Isle of Skye . . .

'The best Scottish crime series since Rebus' – Daily Record

Time for the Dead is the fourteenth book in the Rhona MacLeod series by Lin Anderson. It is followed by The Innocent Dead.

Readers love Time for the Dead:

'Honestly this series just gets better and better' 'We see a more vulnerable Rhona in this book . . . Another cracking read' 'Will have you gripped from the beginning to the end'

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Martina Cole and Silent Witness.
