"Rankin is a master storyteller, and his Rebus novels are a national treasure." —The Guardian
"Ian Rankin is a genius." —Lee Child
In Knots and Crosses readers meet John Rebus, the most compellingly complex detective hero at work today, for the first time and are immersed in the gritty Edinburgh of award-winning, #1 bestselling master Ian Rankin. The brilliant, universally-acclaimed series starts here.
Inspector John Rebus: His city is being terrorized by a baffling series of murders . . .and he's tied to a maniac by an invisible knot of blood. Once John Rebus served in Britain's elite SAS. Now he's an Edinburgh cop who hides from his memories, misses promotions and ignores a series of crank letters.
But as the ghoulish killings mount and the tabloid headlines scream, Inspector Rebus cannot stop the feverish shrieks from within his own mind. Because he isn't just one cop trying to catch a killer, he's the man who's got all the pieces to the puzzle. . . .
For any fan of atmospheric, edgy fiction writing and twisty page-turners, the Detective Rebus Novels are a must.
