Then the body of a young man is found inside a Neolithic stone circle high above the city of Glasgow – and forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is soon on the case. The hands have been severed and there is a stone in the victims mouth with the number five scratched on it. DI Michael McNab is certain its a gangland murder, but Rhona isnt convinced.

Readers love Paths of the Dead:

It is gruesome, gritty reading at times, full of twists and turns
I had to ration myself or I would have finished it in one sitting
I have read all the Rhona MacLeod books and each one is better than the last!
