"Ледяной дождь" - первая книга из серии романов о сержанте Логане Макрэе. Сержант Логан Макрэй провел год на больничной койке после тяжелого ранения и наконец готов вернуться к работе. Но его первый рабочий день оборачивается настоящим кошмаром. Трехлетний Дэвид Рид пропал три месяца назад, и наконец его нашли - изуродованное тело мальчика все это время лежало в канаве, заполненной холодной водой.

Когда в контейнере, готовящемся к отправке в море, были обнаружены куски человечины, началась самая масштабная в истории Гранитного города погоня за преступником. В конце восьмидесятых годов прошлого века Мясник убивал людей по всей Великобритании. Жертвы он превращал в куски мяса, поступавшие в магазины. Все это продолжалось до тех пор, пока полиция Грампиана не отправила его за решетку. Но... прошло несколько лет, и убийцу выпустили по апелляции. Люди начали умирать снова. После трагической гибели детектива Брукса, занимавшегося делом Мясника, сержант Логан Макрай начинает понимать, что копать следует в другом месте...

Утро начинается с тела проститутки, раздетой догола и забитой до смерти прямо в центре квартала красных фонарей шотландского Абердина. Еще одно плохое начало плохого дня детектива-сержанта Логана Макрея, тем более что и без того хватает добра на его голову: расчлененный труп собаки-лабрадора в чемодане, групповой секс членов городского совета с несовершеннолетней, пропавший без вести неверный муж. Повседневные проблемы обыкновенного полицейского из обыкновенного шотландского города начала XXI века. Ах да! Не забыть о маньяке, который наглухо закрывает двери домов и сжигает их вместе с обитателями - раз, другой, третий. К тому же над Макреем…

Первый роман цикла об Эше Хендерсоне.

Двенадцать лет назад в Олдкасле накануне своего тринадцатилетия пропала девочка. Через год, в день рождения дочери, родители получили "открытку": неизвестный сфотографировал их дочь в темном подвале. Девочку привязали к стулу, ее рот залеплен скотчем, а в глазах - смертельный ужас. Ровно год спустя - еще один снимок, где на теле жертвы уже видны ожоги и порезы. И так - каждый год, пока родители не понимают, что девочка давно мертва. А неуловимый маньяк, которого в полиции прозвали "мальчик-день-рождения", наверняка уже нашел несколько новых жертв.

Ранее роман выходил под названием «День рождения мертвецов».

Несколько лет назад маньяк по прозвищу Потрошитель убил четырех женщин и еще трех жестоко изуродовал. Жертвам он распарывал живот и помещал в него пластмассовую куклу. А потом убийца просто исчез. Прошло восемь лет, и он вернулся. Бывший детектив Эш Хендерсон, занимавшийся делом Потрошителя, понимает, что новых жертв не избежать, и приступает к расследованию. Ранее роман выходил под названием «Колыбельная для жертвы».

Сержанту Логану Макрэю отдыхать некогда. В ходе расследования в лесу было найдено тело, положившее начало цепи головокружительных событий. Интриги в полиции и передел сфер влияния в криминальном мире - это настоящая война. И сержант Логан попал в самый эпицентр этой войны за темную землю, нравится ему это или нет. Пути назад нет, осталась лишь ожесточенная борьба за выживание.

The third in the bestselling Logan McRae series, set in gritty Aberdeen, laced with dark humour. In the pale grey light of a chilly February, Aberdeen is not at its best! There's a rapist prowling the city's cold granite streets, leaving a string of tortured women behind. But while DS Logan McRae's girlfriend is out acting as bait, he's dealing with the blood-drenched body of an unidentified male, dumped outside Accident and Emergency. When a stash of explicit films turns up, all featuring the victim, it looks as if someone in the local bondage community has developed a taste for violent death, and Logan gets dragged into the twilight world of pornographers, sex-shops and S&M. To make matters worse, when they finally arrest the Granite City Rapist, Grampian Police are forced by the courts to let him go: Aberdeen Football Club's star striker has an alibi for every attack. Could they really have got it so badly wrong? Logan thinks so, but the trick will be getting anyone to listen before the real rapist strikes again. Especially as his girlfriend, PC Jackie 'Ball Breaker' Watson, is convinced the footballer is guilty and she's hell-bent on a conviction at any cost!

Бестселлер №1 в Великобритании! Блистательный, завораживающий роман от одного из самых известных мастеров остросюжетной прозы.

The new Logan McRae thriller set in gritty Aberdeen, from the bestselling author of Cold Granite and Flesh House. It's Summer in the Granite City, but even the sunshine can't improve the mood at Grampian Police Headquarters. Aberdeen's growing Polish community is under attack from a serial offender who leaves mutilated victims to be discovered on building sites -- eyes gouged out and the sockets burned. Detective Sergeant Logan McRae is assigned to the investigation, codenamed Operation Oedipus, but with the victims too scared to talk, it's going nowhere fast. When the next victim turns out to be not a newly arrived eastern european, but Simon McLeod, owner of the Turf n' Track bookies, Logan suddenly finds himself caught up in a world of drug wars, prostitution rings and gun-running courtesy of Aberdeen's oldest and most vicious crime lord.

Richard Knox has served his time, so why shouldn't he be allowed to live wherever he wants? Yes, in the past he was a violent rapist, but he has seen the error of his ways, found God, and wants to leave his dark past in Newcastle behind him and make a new start-or so he says. Detective Sergeant Logan McRae isn't exactly thrilled to be part of the team helping Knox settle into his new Aberdeen home, and he's even less thrilled to be stuck with DSI Danby, the man who put Knox behind bars for 10 years, supposedly here to "keep an eye on things". Only things are about to go very, very wrong. Edinburgh gangster Malk the Knife wants a slice of the development boom Donald Trump's golf course is bringing to the Granite City, whether local crime lord Wee Hamish Mowat likes it or not, while three heavies from Newcastle want a "quiet word" with DSI Danby about a missing mob accountant, and Richard Knox's dark past isn't done with him yet.
