Summary

A chilling ritual is being acted out by a sadistic killer – with a missing child at its centre. Dark Flight is the fourth novel in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

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

Six-year-old Stephen Devlin has vanished, his mother and grandmother horrifically murdered. At the scene of the devastating crime, forensic scientist Rhona Macleod finds a chilling African talisman, made from the bones of a child.

Working with DS Michael McNab, Rhona joins a task force that has been formed in a desperate attempt to track down the missing child before it’s too late. As the case builds momentum, it becomes clear the killer’s motive was linked to the fact that the boy and his mother had recently returned from Nigeria.

When further victims are found, Rhona realizes she must decipher the talisman’s meaning if they are to have any hope of finding Stephen before he becomes the next link in the killer’s chain . . .

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

Dark Flight is the fourth book in the Rhona MacLeod series by Lin Anderson. It is followed by Easy Kill.

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Martina Cole and Silent Witness.

Africa

I would have given this a 5 star review and am passing it on to my husband to read as he grew up in colonial Kano. The book is very well researched. Sadly the correct pronunciation of Kano was not passed on to the narrator (could someone not have asked someone Nigerian?) so hearing ‘Kayno’ throughout even on the lips of locals grated as it was in almost every paragraph. It is always said ‘Kahno’ and I felt this was a lazy lack of research which stopped me enjoying the narration as much as the actual book.

Brilliant narrator

Don’t be put off Scotland by this or other tartan Gothic novels! This is an entertaining and imaginative series set in Glasgow recounting crimes of a once in a lifetime or less nature. Ingenious plots, complex protagonists.

Dr Rhona Macleeod rocks!

I have every thriller by Lin Anderson featuring forensic scientist Rhona Macleod, they are ALL brilliant and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Sally Armstrong narrates the series with true star quality, her wonderful Scottish accent makes it a pleasure to listen and her skill at dealing with all the different accents arising throughout the series is truly amazing!
