The third book in the DS Roberta Steel series, Blood, Rust and Steel, brings Roberta to a point where she is just about to retire after 30 years on the force in Aberdeen, Scotland. Just when she has only a few weeks to work, she gets entangled in a murder case which could be her exit in glory. But things don’t quite go her way when political and social unrest in the area catches up with her, no to mention colleagues who desperately need her help…
All good things must come to an end . . .
Acting Detective Inspector Roberta Steel has never been shy, but she’s finally retiring. After thirty years of policing Aberdeen’s underbelly, she’s all set for her twilight years to feature gardening gloves, afternoon tea, crosswords puzzles, and shouting at the telly.
So, when a body turns up in a wheelie bin, it looks like an excellent way to round off her career and go out with a bang. But the Northeast of Scotland isn’t finished with her yet:
There’s a violent protest to stop; far-right populist politicians, and sketchy government spooks; a by-election; drugs, dogs, and baby-doll nighties; and a desperate ex-colleague, begging her for help.
With only her Queen Street Irregulars for backup, and the top brass desperate to get shot of her, these final few weeks might just be the death of her . . .
