The thrilling tenth book in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod, "The Special Dead" takes readers on a suspenseful journey into the dark world of crime and magic. When Mark is invited back to Leila's flat and ordered to strip, he believes he is about to embark on an unforgettable experience.

Behind the swaying Barbie dolls that hang from the ceiling, he discovers the lifeless body of the girl he just had sex with.

Rhona MacLeod, the skilled forensic investigator, delves into the scene to unravel the mystery.

He is determined to stay sober and redeem himself in Rhona's eyes, but an encounter with Leila's colleague and fellow Wiccan, Freya Devine, threatens his resolve.

McNab soon realizes that Freya holds the key to identifying the men linked to the dolls. However, the Nine, a secretive group of powerful men, are determined to keep their identities hidden at all costs. As the stakes rise, McNab finds himself in a race against time to uncover the truth before more lives are lost. "The Special Dead" is a captivating blend of forensic investigation, suspense, and supernatural elements that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
