In Edinburgh you're never far from a peaceful spot, or from a hellish one either. Now, in the heart of summer, in the midst of a nationalist festival, Inspector John Rebus is on the murder case of a young man left hanging in a spot where his screams would never be heard. To find the victim's identity--and his killer--Rebus searches from Edinburgh's most violent neighborhood to Belfast, Northern Ireland--amongst petty thugs, gunrunners, and heavyweight criminals.

bookshelves: published-1994, spring-2011, mystery-thriller, britain-scotland, revenge Read from March 02 to 03, 2011 workaday mp3Rankin is a clever writer and Mary King's Close is a spooky setting for a grisly six pack performance, however sectarian violence is not my reading preference.

Another good solid read in this series. A tortured body is found in a medieval cellar during the Edinburgh Festival and Rebus and his team investigate. I have really started to enjoy this series. Rebus and his supporting cast are becoming more fleshed out and believable and the plots in the last c...
