The best Scottish crime series since Rebus, according to the Daily Record, is a gripping tale of mystery and suspense. While illegally street racing in the underground tunnels of Glasgow, four Harley-Davidson riders make a horrifying discovery: a dead man left in the darkness, hands together on his chest as if peacefully laid to rest. The cause of death is unclear, with only a half glass of red wine and a partially eaten chunk of bread by his side as clues.

Forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is called to the scene and is perplexed by the lack of evidence. However, when another body is found near her own flat, laid out in a similar manner, she fears a forensically aware killer stalks the city and is marking the victims with their unique signature. Even more worryingly, the killer appears to be using skills they may have learned while attending her forensic science lectures at Glasgow University.

There are signs that Rhona is being targeted, that the killer is playing with her and the police, drawing them into a deadly race against time, before the sin-eaters' next victim is chosen.

Sins of the Dead is the thrilling thirteenth book in Lin Andersons' forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod, followed by Time for the Dead. The series is known for its intricate plotlines, well-developed characters, and forensic science expertise, making it a must-read for fans of crime fiction.
