A darkly funny and unexpectedly chilling Scottish detective novella from the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Logan McRae series.
From Stuart MacBride, the Sunday Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Logan McRae series.
‘A masterful storyteller’ – Karin Slaughter, author of After That Night
A Highland hotel, a dead politician – and one killer hangover . . .
The great and the not-so-good are gathered at Skirivour Castle Hotel, in the heart of the Highlands, for the wedding of the year – but they weren’t expecting Detective Sergeant Roberta Steel to crash their party. And get horribly, horribly drunk.
The whole valley’s been cut off by a massive thunderstorm and the phone lines are down, so when the father-of-the-bride’s body is discovered – decoratively impaled on a stag’s head in the hotel lobby – it’s up to DS Steel to find out whodunit. Which isn’t easy when you’ve got a monstrous hangover and only a world-weary sergeant and a halfwit police constable for backup.
With no witnesses and every wedding guest a suspect, Roberta will need to use every one of her little grey cells if she’s going to catch the killer and get out of there alive.
