Some cases are simply unforgettable. For John Rebus, the case he will never forget is the murder of young Maria Tarkuant, who was found dead forty years ago in the room of a hotel where a famous rock star and his entourage were staying. The perpetrator was never caught.
Meanwhile, the underworld of Edinburgh seems headless. One of the aspiring bosses, Daryl Christie, has fallen victim to an attack, while an investigation into money laundering has put him in a difficult position. Old Kaferti, Rebus's nemesis and oldest enemy, has truly given up, or is he waiting for Edinburgh to fall into his hands like a ripe fruit?
It is always a pleasure to read Rebus, no matter how dark his cases might be. The narrative carries the spirit of Edinburgh intact, as well as the grandeur of Scotland.
With his characteristic blend of wit and detective plotting, this new book is yet another testament to why Rankin remains at the top of Scottish crime writers.
One of the best crime novels; Rankin here raises the bar very high.
