Ian Rankin is my new obsession, and so far this is the best of the lot. Edge-of-your-seat suspense, flawless plotting, convincing characters. Highly recommended.

Another good yarn by this well-respected British writer. His Inspector John Rebus is an interesting character with a hard-bitten exterior, quick with his wits, words and at times his fists, all packaged up with a very human center. The locale is Edinburgh, Scotland as absorbing a geographical place as the more familiar Oxford town in England. Here the Inspector deals with a mysterious murder with hints of satanism but ends with something more horrific and more timely. The story presents our world as we might easily recognize it and that is the connection which makes this work fun to read. Try the series out and you will enjoy the ride.

The second in the Rebus series. Rebus investigates a junkie's death in a crumbling Edinburgh housing development, but soon uncovers that much more lies behind the death. Excellent, fast-paced book.
