Detective Mystery Audio Books

Struggling through another Edinburgh winter, Rebus finds himself sucked into a web of intrigue that throws up more questions than answers. Was the Lord Provost's daughter kidnapped, or is she just another runaway? Why should Councillor Tom Gillespie be shredding documents that were waste paper from a fraud case years ago? And why is Rebus himself suddenly invited to a clay pigeon shoot at the stately home of the Scottish Office's Permanent Secretary, Sir Iain Hunter?

Pulled into the machine which is modern Scotland, Rebus is confronted by the fact that some of his enemies may be beyond his reach, perhaps even beyond justice.

'Rebus is real, made so by Rankin's taut and witty dialogue, and now by Bill Paterson's marvellous reading.'- The Times

'For all the right reasons, Rebus calls for comparison with Morse.' - Publishers' Weekly
