Book description
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 . . .
