Rebus is one of fiction's greatest creations MARIAN KEYES

In the depths of Edinburgh winter, the bodies are piling up for Detective John Rebus – two suicides, a murder, and the mysterious death of an inmate in one of Scotland's largest prisons.

When his investigation uncovers a web of conspiracy among the city's political elite, it's clear that everything Rebus holds dear – his job, his life, even his young daughter – is now at stake.

As he risks it all to make those responsible pay for their crimes, Rebus finds that some of his enemies are above the law – but perhaps not beyond justice...

Rebus is one of British crime writing's greatest characters: alongside Holmes, Poirot and Morse DAILY MAIL
