DI Clare Mackay is about to face a test of her loyalty...When a
report comes in that a van containing two prison officers and a
convicted jewel thief is missing, the police in St Andrews work
quickly to locate the vehicle. Their efforts prove in vain when no
trace is found and they realise the wives of both officers also
appear to have left the area. Is this a case of corrupt guards
springing a felon, or innocent people caught in the crossfire? DI
Clare Mackay leads the team but has to do without her right hand
man; DS Chris West is a cousin to one of the missing prison
officers and must not be involved in the case. With a new sergeant
at her side plus a previously unencountered DCI, Clare's people
skills are pushed to the limit. Especially once she realises her
boss is keeping her on the sidelines. Just what is it that Clare
doesn't know? And if she has to choose between keeping secrets from
a friend, or letting slip something that could see a culprit go
free, which path will she take? A compelling addition to the
bestselling series by a much-loved Scottish crime author, perfect
for fans of Caro Ramsay, Lin Anderson and Alex Gray. Praise for Old
Bones Lie'This is an absolute cracker of a book. An authentic,
twisty and compelling detective novel written by a new star of
Tartan Noir.' Neil Lancaster, author of The Blood Tide 'Old Bones
Lie is a fine example of the police procedural. Tightly plotted,
cogently told with an ensemble of characters following the clues
and navigating various twists like the professionals they are to
reach a solution that is neither pat nor unbelievable. A hugely
enjoyable read indeed.' Douglas Skelton, author of An Honourable
Thief 'A combination of razor-sharp plotting, wholly believable
characters and rock-solid writing - another excellent instalment to
the DI Clare Mackay series.' Alison Belsham, author of Death in
Kabul 'Old Bones Lie is Marion Todd at her very best - forensically
intriguing and a bloody good read... literally.' Jonathan Whitelaw,
author of The Bingo Hall Detectives 'It's impossible to escape
Marion's grip on you in this captivating, compelling hunt for lost
souls, buried truth and a heartless killer.' Morgan Cry, author of
Six Wounds 'Brilliant storytelling, tense and riveting with the
reassuring presence of the wonderful DI Clare Mackay, I loved Old
Bones Lie!' G.R. Halliday, author of Dark Waters 'Marion Todd has
excelled herself this time! 5 stars.' Andrew James Greig, author of
Whirligig 'Gripping and complex. This is Marion Todd's best yet.
Her writing deepens and matures with each new book.' Allan Martin,
author of the Inspector Angus Blue novels 'Another brilliant
instalment to the DI Clare Mackay series. I couldn't stop reading.
Plenty of twists and turns along the way, and just when you think
you have it figured - you don't!' Reader review 'Marion Todd is one
of my favourite authors and this book in the DI Mackay series
doesn't disappoint with twists and turns from start to finish.
Great read, couldn't put it down.' Reader review 'The story starts
with a bang and carries the reader with both great writing and a
very good story. For me, Marion Todd is now sitting comfortably
alongside Caro Ramsay as the two best crime writers in Scotland
today.' Reader review 'Old Bones Lie starts at a really fast pace
and remains unrelenting as the story unfolds...The depth of
research is plain to see, but the skill is in the storytelling, and
I honestly believe that this is her best yet... ' Reader review
