About this ebook

Someone knows where the bodies are buried...

'Taut, dark and expertly crafted tale' [GUARDIAN] from the No.1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES

'No one in Britain writes better crime novels today' Evening Standard

Retirement doesn't suit John Rebus. He wasn't made for hobbies, holidays or home improvements. Being a cop is in his blood.

So when DI Siobhan Clarke asks for his help on a case, Rebus doesn't need long to consider his options.

Clarke's been investigating the death of a senior lawyer whose body was found along with a threatening note. On the other side of Edinburgh, Big Ger Cafferty - Rebus's long-time nemesis - has received an identical note and a bullet through his window.

Now it's up to Clarke and Rebus to connect the dots and stop a killer.

Even Dogs in the Wild brings back Ian Rankin's greatest characters in a story exploring the darkest corners of our instincts and desires.

With the mellowness of age and if not forgiveness then tolerance being central themes, Rebus joins previous nemeses Cafferty and Fox to uncover ancient wrongs and their younger consequences... Again some out of Edinburgh travel for Rebus and finally a result

He's done it again. Multi-stranded plot with all the well known characters and Rebus in the surprisingly credible role of a 'consultant' now he's retired. Very good. Believable and co-starring Edinburgh as always. I looked forward to picking it up again each time I had to put it down.

This was a page turning read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Having read all previous Rebus books you can see him mellowing as Rebus gets older each book is appropriate to his age.
