She can't prove he did it. But she might die trying... From the Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author of the Logan McRae series, comes a standalone spinoff featuring DS Roberta Steel. Revenge is a dangerous thing... Detective Chief Inspector Roberta Steel got caught fitting up Jack Wallace - that's why they demoted her and quashed his sentence. Now he's back on the streets and women are being attacked again. The top brass have made it very clear that if Detective Sergeant Steel goes anywhere near him, she'll be thrown off the force for good. But she can't just do nothing - if she does he'll keep hurting women. The question is: how much is she willing to sacrifice to stop him?

Roberta Steel as the main character rather than in a supporting role? What sorcery is this? A terrific idea on Stuart MacBride's part, that's for sure.
Steel is nobody's idea of a damsel in distress. She's a nightmare to work for, just ask Logan McRae. She's foul mouthed and incredibly un-PC, and in Now We Are Dead, she's been newly demoted to Detective Sergeant, making her even more nightmarish.
She also has a new sidekick. Take a bow Detective Constable “Tufty” Quirrell. Needless to say Steel treats him as meanly as she did McRae.
I didn't know what to expect from Now We Are Dead, knowing that Logan wouldn't feature much in it. What I got was a rollicking good read with all the dark humour and grisly goings on I've come to expect from Stuart MacBride.
