Once again, too many characters and too many things left unsaid.

A good Inspector Rebus story in which the titular character finds himself more an alien than he usually is - he is seconded to London to assist a colleague fighting a Serial Killer.
The usual plot devices are employed to get to the end, nothing revolutionary, but it is a very well-written mystery.

Rebus wouldn't have listened, anyway.
