# What Will Burn by James Oswald (Paperback)

**The latest book in the _Sunday Times_ bestselling phenomenon that is the Inspector McLean series, from one of Scotland's most celebrated crime writers.**  
  
The charred remains of an elderly woman are discovered in a burned out gamekeepers cottage, hidden away in woodland to the west of Edinburgh.  
  
What is at first assumed to be a tragic accident begins to take on a more sinister aspect as Detective Inspector Tony McLean digs deeper.  
  
There is far more to the victim than her humble surroundings suggest . . .
