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.
