DS Hutton Box Set Books 1-4

"e;Douglas Lindsay is someone deserving to be spoken of as a master."e; SHOTS"e;Lindsay is an underrated writer with an eccentric, blisteringly satirical voice."e; SUNDAY EXPRESSThe DS HUTTON BOX SET contains the first four novels in the cult Scottish noir series, as Detective Sergeant Hutton, suffering from PTSD, determinedly depressed, alcoholic, sex-obsessed and often barely functional, investigates a series of strange and brutal murders around the south side of Glasgow. From the opening case where a serial murderer meets police corruption head-on, through a bizarre tale of murder by crow, and the bloody, Biblical ravages of a church merger, every Hutton book is a brutal, darkly comic, sex and gore-filled thrill ride. Contains: THE UNBURIED DEADA PLAGUE OF CROWSTHE BLOOD THAT STAINS YOUR HANDSSEE THAT MY GRAVE IS KEPT CLEAN What readers have said about the Hutton series: "e;The protagonist is so broken, yet such a sympathetic character, and so beautifully drawn. A massive cut above standard cop thrillers; highly recommended!"e;"e;He is one of the most believable characters I've ever read, and although he's a miserable git, I can't help but love him."e;"e;Very fresh take on the police procedural, approaching from a psychological perspective - Hutton is a brilliantly damaged character, well-rounded and believably flawed."e;"e;The book was as good as the others; loads of laughs and laugh out loud moments, characters that are funny, the book was very well written."e;"e;An amazing storyteller. Douglas Lindsay is so under rated. He is much better than Ian Rankin, but beware, not for the faint hearted."e;"e;Douglas Lindsay's novels scare the hell out of me, especially A Plague of Crows, but they are so good that you just have to keep reading. Even if it is 2 o'clock in the morning and you have to keep checking under you bed!"e;"e;I feel like I know Hutton personally! His cases are gritty and raw but there is still time for a little humour, making these stories closer to real life. Great stuff!"e;
