Even Dogs in the Wild (The new Joh Rebus)

Rebus returns in EVEN DOGS IN THE WILD, the must-read bestseller from Scottish crime legend, Ian Rankin. Hands in his pockets, Rebus turned to face Cafferty. They were old men now, similar builds, similar backgrounds. Sat together in a pub, the casual onlooker might mistake them for pals who''d known one another since school. But their history told a different story. Retirement doesn''t suit John Rebus. He wasn''t made for hobbies, holidays or home improvements. Being a cop is in his blood. So when DI Siobhan Clarke asks for his help on a case, Rebus doesn''t need long to consider his options. Clarke''s been investigating the death of a senior lawyer whose body was found along with a threatening note. On the other side of Edinburgh, Big Ger Cafferty - Rebus''s long-time nemesis - has received an identical note and a bullet through his window. Now it''s up to Clarke and Rebus to connect the dots and stop a killer. Meanwhile, DI Malcolm Fox joins forces with a covert team from Glasgow who are tailing a notorious crime family. There''s something they want, and they''ll stop at nothing to get it. It''s a game of dog eat dog - in the city, as in the wild. EVEN DOGS IN THE WILD brings back Ian Rankin''s greatest characters in a story exploring the darkest corners of our instincts and desires.
