Random by UK author Craig Robertson (SYKM) is the 1st novel in his Tony Winter series of police procedural mysteries co-starring the eponymous police photographer and a Detective Sergeant in Glasgow, Scotland, this installment establishing their working relationship by pitting them versus the obligatory senseless-seeming serial killer with a signature, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Simon & Schuster UK.

This is the featured Free Book of the Week in the iTunes UK store, and was a finalist for the 2010 New Blood Dagger Award for debut novels.

Currently free (probably just until Tuesday UK time, when the features usually rotate) @ Amazon UK & iTunes UK & Google Play & Kobo (available to the UK, and none of the other regions I spot-checked, though YMMV)

Description
Glasgow is being terrorised by a serial killer the media have nicknamed The Cutter. The murders have left the police baffled. There seems to be neither rhyme nor reason behind the killings; no kind of pattern or motive; an entirely different method of murder each time, and nothing that connects the victims except for the fact that the little fingers of their right hands have been severed.

If DS Rachel Narey could only work out the key to the seemingly random murders, how and why the killer selects his victims, she would be well on her way to catching him. But as the police, the press and a threatening figure from Glasgow's underworld begin to close in on The Cutter, his carefully-laid plans threaten to unravel - with horrifying consequences.

Brilliant crime fiction for fans of Stuart MacBride and Ian Rankin, Random is Craig Robertson's debut thriller and was shortlisted for the CWA New Blood Dagger. Look out for the new novel In Place of Death.
