Martins Press. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Weary, wary, hard-drinking Detective John Rebus returns in author Ian Rankins internationally acclaimed, award-winning series. Dead Souls is "crime writing of the highest order" (Daily Express). As complex and unpredictable as the brooding mists that envelop his Edinburgh beat, Rebus is ever resourceful and determined--but this time, vulnerable and challenged as never before, with complications in his personal life, and events that shake him to the depths of his being.... A colleagues suicide. Pedophiles. A missing child. A serial killer. You never know your luck, muses Rebus. Driven by instinct and experience, he searches for connections, against official skepticism. But at night, unsoothed by whiskey, Rebus faces his ghosts--and the prospect of his daughters possibly permanent paralysis. Soldiering through dank, desperate slums and the tony flats of the Scottish chic, Rebus uncovers a chain of crime, deceit, and hidden sins--knowing its himself hes really trying to save....

A brilliantly meshed plot which delivers on every count on its way to a conclusion as unexpected as it is inevitable." --Literary Review "Rankins prose is understated, yet his canvas of Scotlands criminal underclass has a panoramic breadth. His ear for dialogue is as sharp as a switchblade. This is, quite simply, crime writing of the highest order." --Daily Express "...the whole is held together by Rankins drum-tight characterization of Rebus as a man deeply shaken in his convictions, but unwilling to fall apart." --Publishers Weekly Review Quote ...the whole is held together by Rankins drum-tight characterization of Rebus as a man deeply shaken in his convictions, but unwilling to fall apart.
