      About This Book

      A murdered oil-rig worker. A copycat serial killer dubbed "Johnny Bible. And a reopened investigation that doesn't bode well for Detective John Rebus or his mentor, Inspector Lawson Geddes. Rebus's Scotland, along with his malt-soaked psyche, is riddled with trouble. Now he's got to tie up the loose ends if he wants to save his job--or live to see another dark Edinburgh day.
