Twelve terrific stories starring Detective Inspector John Rebus. His home city of Edinburgh is not just the tartan tearooms and cobbled streets of the tourist brochures, but a modern urban metropolis with a full range of criminals and their victims--blackmailers, peeping Toms, and more than one kind of murderer.It's a city that gives birth to crimes of passion, accidents, and long-hidden jealousy [from the cover]

Well, I wouldn't say all twelve stories are terrific, but some of them definitely are. A good read - not only for fans of DI John Rebus.
I bought it some time ago in a second hand shop in Legionowo (Poland),and as I didn't manage to read it before moving to Belgium I took it with me. And ts journey is going to be continued soon

This will be my first visit so I'll just try to find a suitable place and leave the book.

Enjoy your reading, write a few words [or more!] and then release the book for someone else to enjoy!
