Sinossi

The fourteenth Inspector Rebus novel - and No.1 bestseller.

Two seventeen-year-olds are killed by an ex-Army loner who has gone off the rails. The mystery takes Rebus into the heart of a shattered community. Ex-Army himself, Rebus becomes fascinated by the killer, and finds he is not alone. Army investigators are on the scene, and won't be shaken off. The killer had friends and enemies to spare and left behind a legacy of secrets and lies.

Rebus has more than his share of personal problems, too. He's fresh out of hospital, but won't say how it happened. Could there be a connection with a house-fire and the unfortunate death of a petty criminal who had been harassing Rebus's colleague Siobhan Clarke?

Recensione

Excellent

Splendidly-woven yarn...if there still are people unaware of Rankin and Rebus, this would make a great introduction

Rankin expertly keeps us on a knife-edge...He is on top form here - unremitting pleasure

He writes with a natural rhythmn which exerts an almost hypnotic effect

You'll love every second of it

Exemplifies the enhanced craftmanship of the author's recent work; the sheer number of handicaps Rebus overcomes and of the puzzles he solves evinces a relishable virtuosity

A rich absorbing narrative in which the focus is not on who did it - that we know - but why. Artful, moving and entertaining

Ian Rankin's John Rebus...is a flawed but very human creation, and his Edinburgh and its inhabitants beautifully drawn and utterly real

Exceptionally well-plotted book, which is guaranteed to hook you and keep you hooked

Skilfully composed and powerfully written, with a vein of compassion that Rankin taps to startling and justified effect
