WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I read "The Hanging Garden" a while ago and didn't really get into it, but I thought maybe I'd give Rankin another chance before I released this book. However, it's looking less and less like I'm going to read it, so I thought I'd let it go for now - if I ever get the urge to read another Rankin book, they seem to be fairly easy to come by. Until then, someone else should enjoy this book. Happy reading!

This book was sitting on the Winnipeg Official Bookcrossing Zone bookshelf in the loft of The Park Theatre & Movie Café, 698 Osborne Street, Winnipeg MB.

I'm so sorry. I picked this book up from the OBCZ over a week ago but I put it on my TBR shelf without journalling it. I'm a bad Bookcrosser.
I'm trying to read as many of the older Rebus books as I can get my hands on. This is #9 in the series and really, really good. It won the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger, the highest award for a mystery book published in the UK, in 1996.
Rebus has been moved to another police station in Edinburgh due to some altercation with his previous supervisor that was no doubt discussed in Let it Bleed, the 8th book in the series which I haven't read. There's an investigation into an old case that may get Rebus into trouble but he's more interested in a serial killer that is raping and murdering young women all across Scotland. He has hit in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh so far. The press are calling him Johnny Bible because his method is similar to Bible John, a serial killer who killed 3 women in Glasgow in the 60's and then stopped. Rebus is not officially on the case but he's helping out and he is obsessed by the link with the older case. With his usual tact and discretion Rebus manages to trample on the toes of police in Glasgow and Aberdeen as well as his home town. He is also investigating the mysterious death of an oil worker in Edinburgh that leads him to Aberdeen. Finally, the inspector investigating the old case assigns Jack Morton, an old friend of Rebus', to stay with him 24 hours a day. Morton and Rebus criss-cross Scotland investigating the oil worker's death, the Johnny Bible case and some drug deals. While they spend time together Morton convinces Rebus to go on the wagon as he has done. It's strange to read about Rebus turning down drinks but it seems to work for him because he manages to solve the oilman's death and he is instrumental in having the drug dealers caught. However, he is one step behind on the Johnny Bible case, one step behind Bible John. Yes, Bible John is alive and he resents the "Upstart" as he calls him.
I will be taking this book to the Winnipeg BookCrosser's meeting next week. I'm sure I can talk someone into taking it home.
