'..the face that stared at him through the glass was his mum s, but it didn t look like her. Stephen s mouth dropped open and real fear grabbed his stomach. His mum s face was chalk white, her mouth twisted in pain. Behind her was a dark shadow.

Stephen dropped the bones. '

A six year-old boy has vanished, his mother and grandmother horrifically murdered. At the scene forensic scientist Rhona Macleod finds a chilling African talisman, made from the bones of a child. Can she decipher its meaning and track Stephen down before he becomes the next link in the killers' chain?

Super gripping page-turner

Reviewed in Australia on 1 February 2017

Another Lin Anderson page-turner.

I have never read a book featuring African juju before, so I found it very interesting learning about some of forms it can take.

This book definitely was not for the faint of heart, it involves human trafficking, juju and the usual violence that accompanies Rhona's cases. How she manages to keep her head when in Nigeria, which is as far away from Glasgow, geographically and culturally, as you can get is very interesting indeed.

A cracking read, and highly recommended. Looking forward to the next one!

Dark Flight

The fourth in Lin Anderson’s series of books featuring Forensic Scientist Dr Rhona MacLeod. Based at Glasgow University MacLeod assists the police in analysing crime scenes using a range of forensic techniques.

An adult woman and her mother are found brutally murdered in the mother’s house. The adult woman’s young son has vanished and police are uncertain whether he has been kidnapped or has simply ran away from the horrific murder scene.

Whilst originally from Glasgow the murdered woman has spent some time in Africa where her son was born. Through the assistance of Africans in Glasgow Rhona and the police are able to establish that the possible reasons for the murder may lie abroad and Rhona and a police colleague travel to Africa to investigate further.

In an extremely entertaining book Anderson takes us around Glasgow and then into the African interior. She illustrates clearly that irrespective of the community fear of the unknown is both contagious and terrifying. Central throughout is the concept of power and the need to utilise it fully irrespective of the consequences. Good read.

Tartan Noir meets Africa

With 2 murders opening the book you are gripped straight away and Anderson leaves nothing to the imagination.
You start off with a Scottish crime,a deep sense of loss and are whisked into a world of African Juju. Sounds impossible but in this novel it all fits seamlessly together.
It opens your eyes to another world, another set of customs and another way of life.
Tartan Noir suddenly becomes very colourful.
With not as much character development in this novel there was more time to develop the link between Glasgow and Nigeria and indulge the read in some very interesting facts about Nigeria.
Again another fast paced novel, which kept you guessing and the pages turning and of course chilling and disturbing!

I did enjoy this book but I thought it was very gruesome. Just like it happens in "real life". I would recommend it. I'm now ready for the next one

Thought the first part of the book was excellent but after they moved on over to there seemed to be so many similar sounding names i started getting confused. Got to say though it was a good read.

Enjoying these series and wondering when we will see them on TV. Come on. Visual and exciting, if quite gory and set in Scotland (including the Mining Museum at Newtongrange) and Africa. Thanks.
