Val McDermid is the award-winning, international bestselling author of more than thirty novels and has been hailed as Britainâs Queen of Crime. In Still Life, McDermid returns to her propulsive series featuring DCI Karen Pirie, who finds herself investigating the shadowy world of forgery, where things are never what they seem.
When a lobster fisherman discovers a dead body in Scotlandâs Firth of Forth, Karen is called into investigate.
