Strip Jack
The fourth Inspector Rebus novel from the No.1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES - 'unmatched in the field of British crime fiction' THE TIMES.
Reissued in the stunning new livery alongside EXIT MUSIC - new in paperback. New for this edition - specially commissioned Reading Group Notes. Ian Rankin is a regular No.1 bestseller and Guardian fastseller. The Rebus TV adaptation attracted 9 million viewers. He has an incredibly high profile - he has had his own TV series, received an OBE and is a regular on TV and radio. He has won numerous awards, including the CWA Gold Dagger and the Edgar Award. Ian Rankin makes up more than 10% of all UK crime sales. He also constantly gets excellent reviews: 'These novels are totally absorbing' Spectator 'Rankin is a master of his craft' Independent on Sunday 'Ian Rankin leads the field ... his ability to wrap together diverse ingredients into a plot-sandwich bulging with flavour is ingenious' Scotland on Sunday 'No other writer in his chosen genre is producing books as rich and comprehensive as this: Dickensian, you might say' Literary Review 'An extraordinarily rich addition to crime literature' Independent on Sunday
Gregor Jack, MP, well-liked, young, and married to the fiery Elizabeth - to the outside world a very public success story. But Jack's carefully nurtured career plans take a tumble after a 'mistake' during a police raid on a notorious Edinburgh brothel.
Then Elizabeth disappears, a couple of bodies float into view where they shouldn't, and a lunatic speaks from his asylum...
Initially, Rebus is sympathetic to the MP's dilemma - who hasn't occasionally succumbed to temptation - but with the disappearance of Jack's wife, the glamour surrounding the popular young man begins to tarnish.
Someone wants to strip Jack naked and Rebus wants to know why...
Ian Rankin's Strip Jack offers a thrilling dive into a world where public facades crumble, revealing the complexities beneath.
