The Skeleton Road does an excellent job of wrangling with these big ideas inside a tightly paced mystery."--Janet Napolitano, Los Angeles Times

The Skeleton Road, now available in paperback, is a gripping standalone novel about a cold case that links back to the Balkan Wars of the 1990s. In the center of historic Edinburgh, builders are preparing to demolish a disused Victorian Gothic building. They are understandably surprised to find skeletal remains hidden in a high pinnacle that hasn't been touched by maintenance for years. But who do the bones belong to, and how did they get there? Could the eccentric British pastime of free climbing the outside of buildings play a role? Enter cold case detective Karen Pirie, who gets to work trying to establish the corpse's identity. And when it turns out that the bones may be from as far away as former Yugoslavia, Karen will need to dig deeper than she ever imagined into the tragic history of the Balkans: to war crimes and their consequences, and ultimately to the notion of what justice is and who serves it.

"McDermid is] a deft hand at crafting murder mysteries heavily laced with psychological suspense. . . Evocative writing . . . From vertiginous start to electrifying finale, The Skeleton Road delivers twists-a-plenty in this tautly-told tale."--Daneet Steffens, The Boston Globe

"Melds the political thriller with the police procedural . . . Feels both intensely personal and global. . . . Karen . . . once again proves herself a formidable character worthy of her own series." --Oline H. Cogdill, Associated Press

Great Product.
Color: Dark Blue, Size: 6.4-Quart - Deep
This is a great size, great value, holds heat. Made double recipe of Mac and cheese in it - brought it to a party and Mac and cheese was still warm. In glass it would have needed to be reheated. Also- looks awesome in my kitchen.

Heats evenly, quick clean up.
Color: Teal, Size: 6.4-Quart - Deep
Very heavy and well-made, heats evenly and cleans up in a snap, no scouring necessary. I’ve cooked everything from stewed chicken to etouffee and risotto, all dishes came out well.

Great choice. Choose medium to small sizes for easy maneuver
Color: Cream, Size: 7.3-Quart - Deep
Love this Dutch oven. I bought a cream one. I recommend a dark color: it may be easy to clean, but it may retain some foods colors. I recommend a medium sized oven. I have the big one and it is too heavy to carry on and when using for baking, it can be tricky. I made stew and chunk roast beef and worked good. I would recommend a medium size for good handling. Also because smaller sizes may be easier to use in electric stoves as the glass can get damaged.

Beautiful pot
Color: Blue, Size: 6.4-Quart - Deep
I was a little bit skeptical buying a large Dutch oven at this price point, when the well known brand (that I won't name here) sell for at least 5x the cost. Ive never owned one at all, so unable to compare apples to apples. - Color and finish look great. Even better in person than the photos. - Its hefty. I was expecting it to be heavy, since last iron, but it feels like it is robust. - Cooking with it has been great so far - sauté veggies, add liquid and rice for fantastic Spanish rice. Some stirring needed to avoid sticking, but comparable to my non stick pans or better. The heavy mass of the Dutch oven dissipates heat more evenly. - The handles get pretty warm / hot during use even on stove top. Thats probably normal, since the pot and two handles are one continuous piece. Not a big deal. The small handle on lid stays night and cool. - Overall, this feels like a great purchase and will replace a lot of duties I was using various pans for. Time will tell how the durability is.
