Description
Darkly witty, fast-paced, and packed with Scottish crime intrigue, Blood, Rust and Steel delivers another unforgettable case featuring the formidable Roberta Steel.
After three decades spent navigating the darker side of Aberdeen, Acting Detective Inspector Roberta Steel is finally preparing to call it a career. Retirement promises a quieter life filled with simple pleasures—gardening, crossword puzzles, afternoon tea, and the occasional argument with the television.
At least, that’s the plan.
When a body is discovered stuffed inside a wheelie bin, Steel sees an opportunity to finish her career on a high note. One final investigation, one last chance to prove she’s still the toughest detective around, and then she’s out.
Unfortunately, the city has other ideas.
As the case unfolds, Steel finds herself caught in a whirlwind of chaos involving political unrest, extremist movements, questionable government operatives, a high-stakes by-election, and a collection of eccentric complications that only seem to multiply by the day. To make matters worse, an old colleague arrives desperate for help, dragging her even deeper into trouble.
With support coming primarily from her loyal but unconventional Queen Street Irregulars, and senior officers eager to usher her out the door, Steel faces a final stretch that may be more challenging than anything she’s encountered before.
Sharp, entertaining, and filled with twists, Blood, Rust and Steel combines gripping mystery with biting humor as one of Scotland’s most memorable detectives discovers that retirement is never as simple as it sounds.
