About this listen

 FEATURING AN EXCLUSIVE INTRODUCTION READ BY IAN RANKIN.

When a close colleague is brutally attacked, Inspector John Rebus is drawn into a case involving a hotel fire, an unidentified body, and a long forgotten night of terror and murder.

Pursued by dangerous ghosts and tormented by the coded secrets of his colleague's notebook, Rebus must piece together the most complex and confusing of jigsaws. But not everyone wants the puzzle solved - perhaps not even Rebus himself ...

Enjoyed this even more than when I read it years ago. Love the Rebus series and James Macpherson is a fabulous narrator

Good old Rebus

Despite the author's extraordinarily sexy voice in his introduction and my being one of his ardent fans, the description of this novel as being an 8-hour book is incorrect. I listened to it in a one brief afternoon and felt short changed, especially as it it is certainly not one of his best. But congratulations on his literary prize.
