Praise for "Dying Light"
"Fans of Ian Rankin and Denise Mina will enjoy the mordant MacBride, whose second novel is every bit as dark and riveting as his debut, "Cold Granite,""
---"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
"Any of the flamboyant evildoers in "Dying Light "could carry a terrific whodunit."
---"Entertainment Weekly"
Praise for "Cold Granite"
"Stuart MacBride joins an illustrious roster of Scottish crime writers. . . . By tangling together a half-dozen competing plot lines, MacBride keeps readers off-balance, even those who think they can see the tripwires."

"Grade: A . . . Tartan noir has a fresh new voice with an Aberdeen brogue in Stuart MacBride, whose first mystery, "Cold Granite," bids well to keep up with Ian Rankin and Denise Mina. . . . I'm already looking forward to the next installment in the career of Det. Sgt. McRae."
---"Rocky Mountain News"
"McRae is an interesting and subtle detective, and his investigation is both inventive and imaginative."
---"Dallas"" Morning News"
"Unbelievably assured and accomplished . . . MacBride is starting at the very top with his first book, which approaches the level of Michael Connelly's best work. . . . MacBride's writing is so good here that it's hard to believe it's not a sign of staying power."
---"Flint"" Journal"

Detective Sergeant Logan McRae's only chance of getting out from under Detective Inspectors Steel and Insch is to get noticed. Not that any of his cases are the type that he wants to get noticed for.
For starters, someone dumped a dying man at the hospital, and the team can't ID him or the person who dumped him. Even worse, McRae is also after a knife-wielding eight-year-old who is stirring up bad press for the department that does little for their case against Robert Macintyre, Aberdeen's beloved star soccer player. They're convinced he's a rapist, but they can't hold him long enough to prove it. Catching these perps is thankless work, and McRae's chances of getting rewarded are as bad as Aberdeen's without their leading goal scorer.
With his third masterful installment in a series that combines suspense with a dark and distinctly Scottish wit, award-winning author Stuart MacBride is setting a blistering standard for the next generation of crime writers.
