Driftnet cover

The first novel in Lin Anderson's series featuring forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod.

The first novel in Lin Anderson's compulsive Glasgow crime series featuring forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod.

A gruesome crime scene. A dead boy with an uncanny resemblance to the son she gave up. Can Rhona MacLeod uncover the truth before powerful men bury it forever?

Driftnet is a thrilling, fast-paced crime novel by Lin Anderson and the first in the gripping series featuring forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod.

Summoned to a Glasgow flat in the early hours, Rhona is confronted by a horrific scene. A teenage boy lies mutilated and strangled, the vicious killer long gone. But her grim task of scanning for evidence becomes even more unsettling than normal. The victim bears a remarkable resemblance to Rhona herself – and to the baby boy she gave up for adoption seventeen years ago. . .

Wracked with guilt, Rhona sets out to find the murderer and discover if the young victim is indeed her long-lost child. Soon, she finds herself immersed in an investigation exposing Glasgow's dark underworld as it preys on the young and vulnerable. As the case builds, it becomes clear that some very powerful men have a lot to lose if Rhona succeeds – and everything to gain if she dies. . .
