Book cover: "And in Edinburgh of all places. I mean, you never think of that sort of thing happening in Edinburgh, do you ...? That sort of thing ... is the brutal abduction and murder of two young girls. And now a third is missing, presumably gone to the same end. Detective Sergeant John Rebus, smoking and drinking too much, his own young daughter spirited away south by his disenchanted wife, is one of many policemen hunting the killer."

I read this book years ago. It is now ready to travel.

I left it in the bedside table in room 75.
