Deadly Code

A horrifying discovery is made off the coast of Scotland's Isle of Skye – with global consequences. Deadly Code is the third novel in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod.

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

Following a grisly discovery made on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is sent over to investigate. It’s there she finds a decomposing foot, caught in a net by a local fisherman. Where is the rest of the body? Who was the dead man?

And why does the Ministry of Defence want the discovery to be kept out of the media?

Returning to her island roots, Rhona soon becomes embroiled in a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the beautiful and remote Western Isles. For there are deadly international forces at play, controlled by powerful people who are willing to do anything to protect their interests – and will silence anyone who threatens to expose them . . .

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

Deadly Code is the third book in the Rhona MacLeod series by Lin Anderson. It is followed by Dark Flight.

Readers love Deadly Code:

'Lin Anderson is going from strength to strength'

'The conclusion is certainly not one I saw coming'

'I can’t wait to read the rest of the series'

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Martina Cole and Silent Witness.
