This is a literary experiment — fragmented, unsettling, and deliberately difficult. Mary Miller, a young woman in a Scottish coastal town, is trying to piece together the wreckage of her life after a breakdown. The narrative fractures between past and present, reality and hallucination, as she navigates family dysfunction, religious guilt, and creeping madness. Rankin's prose is sharp and unforgiving, the atmosphere thick with dread. It's not a mystery you solve — it's a descent you experience.

When internal affairs starts circling, Rebus goes rogue, chasing leads through Glasgow's underbelly while staying one step ahead of bent cops who want him silenced. Ian Rankin's sixth Rebus novel is darker and more personal than anything before it — a brutal descent into corruption, revenge, and the moral cost of doing the right thing in a system designed to protect the guilty.

Then a serial killer from his past resurfaces, bodies start appearing, and Rebus finds himself caught between political spin, personal demons, and a city on the edge of violence.
