Summary

It is August in Edinburgh and the Festival is in full swing…

A brutally tortured body is discovered in one of the city’s ancient subterranean streets and marks on the corpse cause Rebus to suspect the involvement of sectarian activists. The prospect of a terrorist atrocity in a city heaving with tourists is almost unthinkable.

When the victim turns out to be the son of a notorious gangster, Rebus realises he is sitting atop a volcano of mayhem - and it’s just about to erupt.

Rankin is without doubt Britain’s best crime novelist– DAILY EXPRESS

Rankin is without doubt Britain’s best crime novelist * DAILY EXPRESS *
Rankin continues to be unsurpassed among living British crime writers … He makes the reader feel part of the scene, and enhances the experience with his virtuosity with dialogue … But all these virtues would count for little if Rankin didn’t also possess the most important asset of them all - the ability to tell a damned good story * THE TIMES *
Ian Rankin is a genius – Lee Child
Rankin is streets ahead in the British police procedural writing field * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY *
Britain’s No.1 crime writer * DAILY MIRROR *
