Books like Flesh house by Stuart MacBride
Logan McRae, Scotland’s most trusted detective, is summoned to Aberdeen as the city reels from a fresh wave of visceral crimes linked to the notorious Flesher. Seventeen years after the killer’s defeat and seven after his controversial release, a shipment of human meat at the harbour ignites a frantic man‑hunt.
McRae, under the watch of Chief Constable Mark Faulds from Birmingham, must keep the investigation disciplined while DI Insch risks his career chasing Wiseman. The stakes rise when the original police team that jailed Wiseman in 1990 begins to vanish, and more evidence of cannibalism creeps into the food supply. Hidden secrets about the Flesher’s reign and Aberdeen’s police corps spill into the light, forcing McRae to confront the city’s dark past—or that the past may be returning.
