Driftnet is a thrilling crime novel by Lin Anderson and is the first novel in the series forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod.
Summoned
in the early hours of the morning to a Glasgow flat, forensic scientist
Rhona MacLeod is confronted by a horrific crime scene. A teenage boy
has been found mutilated and strangled to death by a vicious killer.
But
her grim task of scanning for evidence is made even more unsettling
than normal by the boy’s remarkable resemblance to her – and by the fact
that she gave up a baby boy for adoption seventeen years ago . . .
Overcome
by guilt, Rhona sets out to find the boy’s killer and establish whether
the young victim is her long-lost son. In doing so, she finds herself
immersed in an investigation that seeks to expose a dark underworld that
preys on the young and vulnerable. As the case builds it soon becomes
clear that some very powerful men have a lot to lose if she succeeds,
and everything to gain if she dies.
