Synopsis of Broken Skin
Broken Skin is the new Logan McRae thriller from the bestselling author of ‘Cold Granite’ and ‘Dying Light’, set in gritty Aberdeen.
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. 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 turn 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…
