About In My Time Of Dying: DS Hutton Book 5 (DS Thomas Hutton Crime Series)

MURDER IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUSDS Hutton is back, in another dark and grim, blisteringly comic, sex and murder-fuelled serial killer thriller. It’s a grey October in Glasgow, and the rain is mournfully falling, a requiem for a city ravaged by the effects of the long summer’s virus. And now a killer enters the narrative, to wreak havoc, spill blood, and to lead the city in a dance of death. Each victim dies from a thousand brutal cuts, blood weeping from the empty eyes of the their death masque. A sister masque is left elsewhere, a rogue clue, planted by the killer to taunt the police. The danse macabre intensifies, the body count mounts higher, until Hutton, inevitably, inexorably, unbearably, is the last good man standing in the battle against a haunting and rapacious killer… “Douglas Lindsay is someone deserving to be spoken of as a master.” SHOTS “Lindsay is an underrated writer with an eccentric, blisteringly satirical voice.” SUNDAY EXPRESS“A master of comic crime.” SCOTTISH FIELD“Lindsay writes with an economy and skill all too rare in modern fiction.” Tony Black“Lindsay solidifies his place as one of the rising stars of tartan noir.” Publishers Weekly
