    "Il collezionista di bambini" narra le indagini del sergente Logan McRae, del dipartimento di polizia Aberdeen. La città è gettata nel panico da una catena di orrendi omicidi di bambini. I giornali parlano di un serial killer pedofilo, mettendo in discussione le capacità investigative delle forze dell'ordine e demolendo il senso di sicurezza dei cittadini. Tutto ha inizio in una tipica giornata scozzese: piove (come sempre ad Aberdeen) e, malgrado il suo orario di lavoro sia scaduto da un pezzo, il sergente McRae è impegnato con altri esperti a ricostruire la scena del delitto. In un sacco di plastica giace il corpo del piccolo David Reid (quattro anni non ancora compiuti); una domanda inquietante tormenta il cervello del protagonista: "E adesso, come racconterò tutto questo alla madre?". David Reid è solo il primo delle piccole vittime del serial killer pedofilo, nella caccia all'uomo più pericolosa che Logan abbia mai affrontato. "Il collezionista di bambini" è un thriller coraggioso, che esplora uno dei temi più deicati e sconvolgenti della nostra società, una delle paure più forti e diffuse degli ultimi tempi: la pedofilia. La violenza con cui il protagonista deve fare i conti, la crudeltà dei carnefici e il terrore delle vittime sono descritti con uno stile penetrante, capace di scuotere il lettore fino al midollo.

    The first body is chained to a stake: strangled, and stabbed, with a burning tyre around its neck. But is this a gangland execution or something much darker?Someone's leaving little knots of bones outside Detective Inspector Logan McRae's house, but he's got more pressing things to worry about. Rival drug gangs are fighting over product and territory; two teenage lovers are missing; someone's crippling Asian immigrants; and Logan's been lumbered with an ambitious new Detective Sergeant, a mountain of paperwork, and the unwelcome attention of his superiors and the local crime boss.When another body turns up, it looks as if the similarities between these murders and the plot of a bestselling novel are more than just a coincidence. And perhaps those little knots of bones are more important than they look...
