Newly arrived in-store, lovely signed copies of the new novel from Stuart MacBride.

When a body turns up in a wheelie bin, it looks like an excellent way for Acting Detective Inspector Roberta Steel to round off her career and go out with a bang. But the Northeast of Scotland isn't finished with her yet...

Full of MacBride's darkly funny and gripping crime writing, these are stunning hardback editions to add to your collection.
