The sixteenth Inspector Rebus novel from 'Britain's No.1 crime writer' DAILY MIRROR.A murder has been committed - but as the victim was a rapist, recently released from prison, no one is too concerned about the crime. That is, until Detective Inspector John Rebus and DS Siobhan Clarke uncover evidence that a serial killer is on the loose ...
When Rebus also starts looking into the apparent suicide of an MP, he is abruptly warned off the case, not least because the G8 leaders have gathered in Scotland, and Rebus's bosses want him well out of the way. But Rebus has never been one to stick to the rules, and when Siobhan has a very personal reason for hunting down a riot cop, it looks as though both Rebus and Clarke may be up against their own side ...

I'm afraid I didn't enjoy this as much as all the previous Rebus novels. Too political and not enough Rebus. Even considered giving up on it but kept going and it was an interesting read but I was very disappointed. Nothing compared to the earlier Rebus books in my opinion.In checking the records of my Rankin reads I noted that I hadn't listed this one as 'read'. As this site hosts my primary (well, only) list of the books I can recall reading I thought I'd better correct the oversight. Why? Well, it's not so I can plump up the number of books I can claim To have read by a single digit, but rather to stop me purchasing the same title again - something I've done on several occasions in the past! I normally spot the error sometime around chapter two - and yes, I can
Interesting use of current affairs, especially the coincidence of the G8 in Gleneagles with the 7/7 bombings in London, and how the media were more obsessed with the granting of the London Olympics than with society crumbling in a distant part of the UK - distant in their minds in miles and relevance.But as a crime novel that mixed political intrigue and the criminal underworld's power struggle, I thought it was okay but not deserving of the fawning over-the-top praise from the very people
There is a bookstore in the international wing of the Hong Kong airport that sells only mystery novels and biographies of Mao, and since I'm not one for history, I wound up with this when I was passing through on my way from China to HCMC.That was nearly four months ago. The fact that this book took me that long to read, that I didn't even decide I LIKED it until around page 400, says something about how much trouble this has put me to.I'll take this quickly on two fronts:Inspector Rebus: drinks
I was 40 pages into this book and wondering what had happened to Rebus' girlfriend and also Gill Templar when I checked the order of the series and realised I had accidentally messed up the order and I had skipped two books. However, as I had already started I decided to keep going and I will catch up with those two later.I was sad to see that it didn't work out between Siobhan and Eric but she certainly seems to be getting closer to Rebus...In this book, Rebus once again finds himself close to
One of the best Inspector Rebus books to date. In the beginning of the series, Rebus was almost too hard-core, too depressing. I thought he was on the edge of going down permenantly. However, with the added focus of DS Siobhan Clarke, the series has really taken off. Siobhan (pronounced Shiv-awn) adds another dimension as Rebus's partner. Rebus basically is on the edge ALL THE TIME. With Siobhan, he the lead of a cracker detective team. He's not your average hero. Really into his music, ciggies,
I own both the hardcover and an uncorrected proof copy of this book.
