About This Book

A plane crash, a missing person – and a girl abducted. Follow the Dead is the thrilling twelfth book in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

'One of the most satisfying characters in modern crime fiction' – Daily Mail


On holiday in the Scottish Highlands, forensic scientist Dr Rhona MacLeod joins a mountain rescue team on Cairngorm summit, where a mysterious plane has crash-landed on the frozen Loch A'an. Nearby, a climbing expedition has left three young people dead – with a fourth still missing.

In Glasgow, DS Michael McNab's raid on the Delta Club produces far more than just a massive haul of cocaine. Underage girls are found amongst the city's elite – during an interview, one reveals that she was smuggled into Scotland via Norway, and it seems the plane crash in the Cairngorms may be linked to the club. But, before McNab can discover more, the girl is abducted.

Joined by Norwegian detective Alvis Olsen, who harbours disturbing theories about how the two cases are connected with his homeland, Rhona searches for the missing link. What she uncovers is a dark underworld populated by ruthless people willing to do anything to ensure the investigation dies in the frozen wasteland of the Cairngorms . . .

Shortlisted for the 2018 McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year.

'The best Scottish crime series since Rebus' – Daily Record
