Inspector John Rebus must disinter all four cases to nail just one killer. And do it while facing the glare of an internal inquiry led by a man he has just accused of taking backhanders from Glasgow's Mr Big, and with TV cameras at his back investigating a miscarriage of justice.

    I've read it before in italian (Morte Grezza) and I've liked it. After I've reading it once more I appreciate more, maybe because I knew more about the previous stories. All the same one of the best Rebus' which I've read.
