Description
Community service clean-up was supposed to be a tedious affair. But, when a young offender stumbles upon a bin bag filled with human remains, a quiet Highland village is thrown into chaos.
The investigation leads DCI Jack Logan to a remote and nightmarish cottage, where a forgotten freezer holds a disturbing discovery: a full set of human fingers.
As more body parts are uncovered, Logan and his team hunt for a killer with a gruesome obsession for collecting trophies.
Across the vast Highlands, where secrets run as deep as the lochs, the team must piece together a jigsaw puzzle of horror thatβs as fragmented as the remains they've found.
But how do you solve a jigsaw when you canβt see the picture on the box?
Where the Pieces Lie is the 19th explosive novel from number one bestselling Scottish crime author, JD Kirk, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Chris Brookmyre, and Val McDermid.
