Inhaltsangabe

In the dark days and biting windstorms of an Edinburgh winter, two drop-out kids dive off the towering Forth Road Bridge. A civic office is spattered by a grisly gun-blast. Two suicides and a murder that just don't add up, unless John Rebus can crunch the numbers. Following a trail that snakes through stark alleys and sad bars, shredded files and lacerated lives, Rebus finds himself up against an airtight, murderous conglomerate on the make in every arena of power. It's leeching the life and soul out of his city and, if it can, him too...

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Acclaimed author of six John Rebus novels--which the BBC has optioned for a TV series--and recipient of England's coveted Gold Dagger Award (the British equivalent of an Edgar), plus the prestigious Raymond Chandler Fullbright fellowship, Scotland native Ian Rankin stands as one of today's most talented young writers. THE SUNDAY TIMES OF LONDON has said, "Rankin writes with wit, passion, and persuasive know-how"; THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW calls his work "beautifully written"; PUBLISHERS WEEKLY compares Detective John Rebus to Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse--and the praise goes on and on. Now see for yourself why Rankin shines as one of suspense fiction's brightest rising stars.
