  • "Midwinter, a freezing night in Leith, near Edinburgh's red light district. A policewoman's flashlight stabs the darkness in a snow-covered cemetery. The circle of light stops on a colourless, dead face. So begins the hint for a serial murderer of prostitutes in the capital city, and Detective Sergeant Alice Rice is assigned to the case. It takes more than the death of one of their number to keep the working girls off the streets, and DS Rice joins them in the back lanes and waste ground, searching for evidence from the girls themselves. But, as she discovers, it is dangerous for any female to get too close to a killer who has nothing to lose."
  • "Midwinter, a freezing night in Leith, near Edinburghs red light district. A policewomans flashlight stabs the darkness in a snow-covered cemetery. The circle of light stops on a colourless, dead face. So begins the hunt for a serial murderer of prostitutes in Gillian Galbraiths third Alice Rice mystery, Dying of the Light. Partly inspired by the real-life killings of prostitutes in Ipswich, this novel explores a hidden world where sex is bartered for money and drugs. Off-duty, Alices home life continues its uneven course. Her romance with the artist Ian Melville offers the prospect of happiness, but is plagued by insecurity. Her demented but determined neighbour, Miss Spinnell, offers a new challenge to Alices patience at every meeting. This atmospheric thriller builds on the success of the first two Alice Rice mysteries, Blood in the Water and Where the Shadow Falls, and it is Gillian Galbraiths most accomplished novel yet."
