One of this country's finest crime writers, the Daily Mail, concludes with a glorious twist. The Times describes it as a high wire balancing act, but MacBride never falters. Scotland on Sunday praises the book as "the unputdownable, unmissable new thriller from the number one bestselling author."

It was supposed to be an easy job. Detective Constable Edward Reekie had to pick up a dying prisoner from HMP Grampian and deliver him somewhere to live out his last few months in peace.

From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy, snow-dusted village, nestled deep in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew, because Glenfarach is the final sanctuary for people who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population.

Edward's new boss, DI Victoria Montgomery-Porter, insists they head back to Aberdeen before the approaching blizzards shut everything down, but when an ex-cop-turned-gangster is discovered tortured to death in his bungalow, someone needs to take charge.

The weather is closing in, tensions are mounting, and time is running out - something nasty has come to Glenfarach, and Edward is standing right in its way.

Praise for Stuart MacBride:

Linwood Barclay describes him as a damned fine writer, while Peter James praises his thrillers for getting better. Express calls MacBride's crime fiction of the highest order, and Mark Billingham hails him as a master of the genre.

In conclusion, Stuart MacBride's latest thriller, "Glenfarach," is a gripping and suspenseful story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page. With its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and masterful writing, it is a must-read for fans of crime fiction and anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
