Publisher's Synopsis
The third Inspector Rebus novel from the No.1 bestselling author of MIDNIGHT AND BLUE
'No one writes better crime novels' EVENING STANDARD
*****
LONDON IS CALLING.
WILL REBUS FIND THE ANSWER?
Detective Inspector John Rebus is hand-picked to help catch a serial killer down in London. The Edinburgh cop doesn't like the big city - and it doesn't seem that his new colleagues at The Met like him much either.
As the case gets its teeth into him, his only hope is to work with a psychological profiler to build a picture of the mind of a dangerous psychopath.
But the closer Rebus gets to the truth, the closer he becomes with his only ally in the capital too - which may give the killer all he needs to win this game of cat-and-mouse and close the case for good...
