内容简介
Book Description
Twelve terrific stories starring Detective Inspector John Rebus: ‘an outstanding creation’(Daily Telegraph). His home city of Edinburgh is not just the tartan tearooms and cobbled streets of the tourist brochures, but a modern urban conurbation with the full range of criminals and their victims – blackmailers, peeping Toms, and more than one kind of murderer. It is a city that gives birth to crimes of passion, accident and long-hidden jealousy.

Reviews
‘Britain’s finest detective novelist’
----------Scotland on Sunday
‘[Rebus] is a superbly drawn character; matched by the edgy authenticity of the Scottish Iocale and dialogue.’

‘Very ambitious and very confident with acute observation of the not so bonny side of Scotland’
