The Missing and the Dead

DS Logan McRae's recent successes have landed him a 'development opportunity' - in Banff.  It has put him back in uniform, something he really didn't want.   A bust of a user has turned up information that there has been a new shipment of drugs into the area.  McRae's team is about to go on a drug raid when a call comes in of a young girl found dead in the swimming pool.

McRae is not impressed when the Major Investigations Team is sent from Aberdeen to take over the case.  His life becomes worse when a case he is a key witness for goes south because of his procedural errors.  As a result, the criminal is likely going to walk. Meantime there is lots of regular police work for McRae and his team to do.

A minor drug bust turns into a major success for McRae's team.  However, they seem to have trampled on a larger investigation and the leader of that team of investigators is out to have McRae's head served up on a platter.

Although McRae continues to achieve successes with various cases, much to the chagrin of his superiors, he also continues to run afoul of them.  Will he be able to jail the pedophile ring?  And can he shut down the newly formed drug ring without losing his own job?  Author Stuart MacBride has the reader turning pages in another of his thrillers.  I was unable to put the book down.
