  From the start seems a book in which more of the Rebus's story will be outlined. From the middle of the book, you're waiting for something to happen...Very good final.

  Un thriller politico

  Sto leggendo i romanzi di Rebus in ordine e questo e' il migliore sino ad ora (anche se mi aspetto grandi cose dal successivo "Black & Blue").

  Sto leggendo i romanzi di Rebus in ordine e questo e' il migliore sino ad ora (anche se mi aspetto grandi cose dal successivo "Black & Blue").

  La figlia del Lord Provost di Edimburgo e' scomparsa, i due presunti rapitori si suicidano, un terzo suicidio (apparentemente scollegato) avviene subito dopo; primi pezzi di un enorme puzzle che iniziano a tormentare John Rebus. Andando avanti nell'indagine verra' scoperto un piano criminoso che coinvolge alte autorita' e ricchi uomini d'affari...

  Forse per la prima volta, piu' ancora della splendida ambientazione e la profondita' del personaggio principale (con tutti i suoi difetti), e' la trama a farla da padrone
  The daughter of Edinburgh's Lord Provost is missing; a car chase of two possible kidnappers ends with the supposed perps' suicide; then another suicide occurs, seemingly unconnected. No crime there, and yet there are puzzling unexplained details, which Rebus can't get off his mind. These details, and the discovery of the missing daughter, lead to the unwinding of a Machiavellian scheme in which high-ranking businessmen and politicians are joined, for the supposed good of Scotland. To Rebus, "None of it's worth a single human life."

  Another very good DI Rebus novel.
  After a very cinematic car chase Rebus ruffles the wrong feathers and is (at least officially) left completely alone to deal with the "highest echelons" of Scottish society. And he is definitely not comfortable in posh company. He works against everyone he should be careful with and ends up having to make a very difficult decision.
  A compelling read with Rebus's character growing and becoming deeper and deeper with each novel.

  Better than average Ian Rankin novel. Starts with a great car chase and then moves into a classic Rebus story. A good bedtime read.
