All That's Dead by Stuart MacBride
4.0
Logan McRae is back at work and is given a simple job to ease back into things. He has to look into allegations about to be published about the past of DI King and his connection with Scottish nationalists. The problem is the case the DI is working on a case that may have connections with the anti-English and Scottish independence crowd. So Logan is assigned to monitor his progress with the case to ensure that all is above board and nothing is swept under the carpet.
The problem with a plan is that it's bound to fail and this one does very quickly. There is one disaster after another and instead of just monitoring the case, Logan is soon actively working the case, trying to desperately to protect the reputation of Police Scotland.
As with most cases for Logan this one doesn't go smoothly and DS Steele doesn't make things any easier. Plus there is always the top brass expecting immediate results but everything they do seems to only hinder in the smooth operation of things.
All in all it's enjoyable read and as usual there is plenty of blood go around. Though, Logan is settling into the role of a middle aged married man that is far from the character that I first met, and often miss.
