The Wild Coast (Rhona MacLeod #17)

Campers are disappearing from the west coast of Scotland, chilling tokens left in their place. As the Glasgow police department threatens to fall apart, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod has a brutal killer to trace in this gripping new thriller.

Brought on the scene to analyze a shallow grave on Scotland's west coast, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod finds a bundle of twigs, crafted into a stickman, left in the victim's mouth. When a young woman is reported missing from a nearby campsite with another sinister figurine left in her van, it seems that someone is targeting wild campers. An idyllic coastline known for providing peace and serenity has become a hunting ground.

As her investigation proceeds, Rhona is forced to reconsider her closest bonds. Rumours of sexual assault offences by serving police officers are circling in Glasgow, which may include her trusted colleague DS Michael McNab. Could it be true, or is someone looking to put him out of action?

All the while a young woman's life is on the line and the clock is ticking.

The Wild Coast is the seventeenth thrilling novel in Lin Anderson's acclaimed Rhona MacLeod series, following The Innocent Dead and The Killing Tide.
