Black And Blue Rankin, Ian

Edinburgh's getting ready for the G7 summit and Detective Inspector John Rebus is drowning in overtime. A killer who calls himself Bible John is resurfacing after twenty-five years, a colleague is dead under suspicious circumstances, and Rebus's own past is catching up in the form of an old nemesis he once crossed. 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. This is Tartan Noir at its best: gritty, morally complex, and impossible to put down. For fans of hard-boiled detective fiction who like their heroes flawed and their cities soaked in rain.
