    "description": "Sticks and stones may break your bones\u2026\n\nThe first body is chained to a stake: strangled, and stabbed, with a burning tyre around its neck. But is this a gangland execution or something much darker?\n\nSomeone\u2019s leaving little knots of bones on DI Logan McRae\u2019s doorstep, but he\u2019s got bigger concerns. Rival drug gangs are fighting over product and territory; two teenage lovers are missing; someone\u2019s crippling Asian immigrants; and Logan\u2019s been lumbered with an ambitious new Detective Sergeant and gained the unwelcome attention of the local crime boss.\n\nWhen another body turns up, the similarities between these murders and the plot of a bestselling novel seem like more than just a coincidence. And perhaps those little knots of bones are more important than they look\u2026",
