Dirt Road Dead

This Is No Joyride...

When two teenage joyriders are found brutally murdered at Kilwinnoch’s Hangman’s Gorge, a remote spot deep in the heart of the Campsie Fells, DCI Duncan Bone and his team are called in to investigate what appears to be a random act of violence. But when a third young motorcyclist turns up dead in similar circumstances, Bone and his team realize they're hunting a serial killer with a deadly obsession.

Their investigation soon uncovers a web of suspects within the close-knit community, but while panic grips Kilwinnoch, and Bone struggles to find the connection between the victims, dark secrets emerge from the town's past; secrets that some would kill to keep buried. As pressure mounts and the body count rises, Bone faces one of the most heart-wrenching and difficult cases of his career – One that threatens to re-open old wounds and drive him to the very edge and beyond.
Can Bone catch the predator before another innocent teenager pays the ultimate price?

'Dirt Road Dead' is the latest book in the DCI Duncan Bone Crime Thriller Series. If you enjoy atmospheric Scottish crime fiction, complex characters and edge-of-your-seat suspense, then you'll love TG Reid’s heart-thumping new thriller.
