The Blood That Stains Your Hands
(2014)(The third book in the Detective Thomas Hutton series)
A novel by Douglas Lindsay
A haunting Scottish crime thriller, from the creator of Barney Thomson and DI Westphall.
A young girl stands silently at a window in the dead of night.
A stained-glass Jesus in blue looks down upon a lost church.
A woman hangs by the neck from a bridge, the wings of an angel on her back.
A teenage boy lies in a bath, the water turned blood red...
Four congregations have been told to unite, with unholy consequences. One by one the victims fall, as DS Hutton and DCI Taylor are drawn into the troubled and duplicitous world of the church, its numbers crumbling, those left behind fighting over the scraps of diminishing power.
A biblical prophecy will play out, the blood of zealots will run...
