It's a gripping police thriller' - Aaron Lavery METRO 'It may be heresy to say so, but I was never very excited by Inspector Rebus. Even a brief paragraph about Fox's childhood contains as much nostagic fizz as a bubble of Irn Bru caught in a spluttering kid's nostril' - Alan Morrison SUNDAY HERALD GLASGOW 'Rankin's trademark pace and descriptive eye are as sharp as ever, while the post-banking collapse setting, full of worried property developers and dodgy money men, gives the book a strong contemporary feel. Rankin's legion of fans will have no grounds for complaints' - Mark Sanderson EVENING STANDARD 'Getting to know this man, an intriguing mix of apathy and action, is almost like a courtship - each new situation reveals something that makes the reader want to know yet more' - Rebecca Armstrong THE INDEPENDENT 'Rankin delivers, without the help of Rebus, an excellent cop novel full of action, good dialogue, well-crafted characters and an authentic backdrop' - Marcel Berlins THE TIMES 'Rankin's touch for literary elements outwith genre expectations continues to be excellent. Fox, brave and kind beneath his world-weary exterior, makes for an excellent guide. 'Like all good crime novels, it takes you to places that you did not know existed - and, even if you did, would not wish to visit.
