Publisher Description
The sixth Inspector Rebus novel from the No.1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES.
'An outstanding creation' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
It is August in Edinburgh and the Festival is in full swing...
A brutally tortured body is discovered in one of the city's ancient subterranean streets and marks on the corpse cause Rebus to suspect the involvement of sectarian activists. The prospect of a terrorist atrocity in a city heaving with tourists is almost unthinkable.
When the victim turns out to be the son of a notorious gangster, Rebus realises he is sitting atop a volcano of mayhem - and it's just about to erupt.

Title: Spot on! But I dislike organized religions anywhere as it divide more than it unite humans.
than do good. As for the story:
Educational and excellent written. I am from another country and did not know that my husbands fancy for an English football team was connected to religion..that most big Clubs are. Makes one wonder about if all income goes in players and Clubs pocket and not end up in shady zealous side projects to strenghten causes. . I love the books from Mr Rankin. Because they educate me at the same time as give me a puzzle to engage in. This time I ended up reading about Bobby Sands, the struggle, the religious wars in our part of the world as well as a little enlightment on the hows and why`s with kings and Queens and feuds for territorial power and the collar of the chosen religion stitched to their people plus plus. It is the best book read so far this year in this jangre and to the anonymous Writer I like to give a piece of advice. I have said and meant and done many stupid things in my life but always with my name as signature if I engage in debate with a cause or a belief I disagree with. I recommend you to do so yourself, that is, if you are like me and can change, apologize if and when someone I disagree with makes me see the light. Is what religious people ought to do but history provides evidence in every century around the world they rather fight than admit some of their values, belief or treatment of others or among them, especially women and children, are wrongdoing against another human being. Sadly we never change as species in most causes the world or the individual person is harmed by..Thank you Mr Rankin! Credo Amare
