A convict is brutally murdered in his locked cell deep in the heart of Scotland's most infamous prison. Sleeping in a cell across the floor lies John Rebus, the equally notorious detective. Stripped of his badge and estranged from his police family, he is now fighting for his own life -- protected by an old nemesis but always one wrong move away from the shank. As new allies and old enemies circle, and the days and nights bleed into each other, even this legendary figure struggles to keep his head. They say old habits die hard, though. The death stirs Rebus's deductive -- and manipulative -- impulses, setting off a domino-chain of scheming criminals, corrupt prison guards and perhaps only one or two good souls who may see it all through. But how do you find a killer in a place full of them?"--Jacket adult Ian Rankin Inspector (Fictitious character) Rebus Fiction Police Scotland Edinburgh Fiction Trials (Police misconduct) Fiction Murder Fiction Conspiracy Fiction Procès (Abus de la police) Romans, nouvelles, etc Meurtre Romans, nouvelles, etc Complot Romans, nouvelles, etc FICTION / Mystery & Detective / International Crime & Mystery FICTION / Mystery & Detective / Private Investigators Scotland Fiction Edinburgh (Scotland) Fiction Écosse Romans, nouvelles, etc FICTION PROCEDURAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR PEOPLE INSPECTOR REBUS DETECTIVE SUSPENSE MEN EDINBURGH GIFT CRIME MYSTERY WOMEN 823/.914 Rankin, Ian 0316473855 9780316473859 240222 20250108160228.0 1423044810
