Book 9 in the Inspector Rebus series.
DI John Rebus is on the paper trail of a WWII war criminal . . . Until the running battle between two rival gangs on the city streets arrives at his door. A Chechen gangster is running prostitutes out of Bosnia via Tommy Telford, a Glaswegian upstart muscling in on Edinburgh territory.
When his own daughter is the victim of a hit and run Rebus is forced to acknowledge that there is nothing he wouldn't do to bring down prime suspect Telford - even if it means cutting a deal with the devil.
The two cases Rebus is investigating here are complex, and the skill with which Ian Rankin fits them together is formidable. This is a topical crime novel with evocative locations and a powerful ending.
