'Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has become one of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' - Daily Mail

A gangland slaying. A missing movie star. When an actor goes missing in Glasgow, the clue to his whereabouts could be in the film script itself.

*****

In the dead of night, a man’s body is found strapped to a chair in Glasgow’s Elder Park, his identity unknown. Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod thinks the violence displayed at the scene suggests a gangland feud. And, when the post-mortem uncovers a bullet engraved with a snake’s head in the man’s stomach, Rhona's suspicions intensify.

Elsewhere in the city, a major Hollywood movie is being filmed, but production comes to a standstill when the lead actor vanishes without a trace. As the news spreads, DS Michael McNab senses a chilling connection between the two cases – a brutal organized-crime storyline playing out in real life on the streets of Glasgow.

With fact and fiction blurring, all Rhona and McNab know for sure is that there is a vendetta at work that must be paid in blood. Can the script of the movie lead them to the killer before its gruesome finale comes to pass?

Whispers of the Dead is the latest pulse-pounding instalment in Lin Anderson's Rhona MacLeod series.

Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has become one of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction

Lin Anderson is one of Scotland’s national treasures – don’t be fooled by comparisons, her writing is unique, bringing warmth and depth to even the seediest parts of Glasgow (Stuart MacBride, author of the Logan McRae series)

The best Scottish crime series Rebus

Anderson is really, really good, one of those authors who richly deserves to be far better known and much more widely read. In her latest she has given us her usual complex plot which will take a lot of meaty pages to sort.
