Forty-five years ago, a young girl went missing. Now, a body is found. The Innocent Dead is the fifteenth book in Lin Anderson's Glasgow-set forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

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


Mary McIntyre's disappearance tore the local community apart, inflicting wounds that still prove raw for those who knew her. So when the present-day discovery of a child’s remains are found in a peat bog south of Glasgow, it seems the decades-old mystery may finally be solved.

Called in to excavate the body, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod uses the advances made in forensic science since Mary’s vanishing to determine what really happened all those years ago – and who was responsible.

Karen Marshall had been devastated by her best friend’s abduction. The police questioned her at the time, but it was a dead end – and the case soon went cold.

Now, news of the discovered body brings the nightmares back. Memories long-buried by Karen are returning – memories that begin to uncover her role in her friend’s disappearance, and may even reveal the identity of the killer . . .

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