Book Description
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...

My Review
This installment of Inspector Rebus shows our main character as very human but flawed as he solves this mystery which is about political and business corruption. The story is well crafted and hooks you right away and doesn't let you go until the last page. Filled with Scottish wit, this novel is highly entertaining even though it is a dark, atmospheric tale of conspiracy and greed. I would recommend this series as I find Ian Rankin to be a very intelligent and talented writer.
