About this ebook

The second Inspector Rebus novel from the No.1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES.
'Ian Rankin is a genius' Lee Child

A junkie lies dead in an Edinburgh squat, spreadeagled, cross-like on the floor, between two burned-down candles, a five-pointed star daubed on the wall above.

Just another dead addict - until John Rebus begins to chip away at the indifference, treachery, deceit and sleaze that lurks behind the facade of the Edinburgh familiar to tourists.

Only Rebus seems to care about a death which looks more like a murder every day, about a seductive danger he can almost taste, appealing to the darkest corners of his mind...

Ratings and reviews

Rankin produces some excellent twists and turns in a read which keeps you guessing rebus let's nothing lie and digs deep to keep you glued to the pages.

I found the book a little slow in places and felt that rankin was trying to be too clever which gave the story a disjointed feel.
