A Plague of Crows: DS Hutton Book 2
DS Hutton returns in a blisteringly brutal crime novel that obliterates the line between thriller and horror, and elevates the Hutton series to the upper echelons of contemporary noir fiction
Three people are dead. Murdered. Each one bound and gagged in a forest, the top of the skull removed, their exposed brain picked at by crows. If they were lucky, they died quickly. DS Hutton has been on sick leave for several months, living on the side of a Scottish mountain. However, the Plague of Crows has arrived, all hands are on deck, and Hutton is summoned back to duty. Outside detectives are brought in, tensions rise, little changes. Hutton, however, finds himself at the forefront of the investigation, drawn further and further into the mire, and soon haunted by his past and plummeting, out of control, into an abyss of sex, alcohol and guilt. And when he reaches the bottom, the Plague of Crows will be waiting for him…
“Lindsay is an underrated writer with an eccentric, blisteringly satirical voice.” - SUNDAY EXPRESS
