A trio of Inspector Rebus novels blending gritty Edinburgh atmosphere with complex crime and razor-sharp investigation, from a killer inside the walls of Rebus's own prison cell to a political conspiracy that reaches the top of the city and a murder tangled up in Edinburgh's asylum system. Dark and richly plotted, these stories catch Ian Rankin at his brooding, brilliant best.
Midnight & Blue - Locked in a cell across from a murdered man, Rebus discovers that even prison can't stop him detecting.
Let It Bleed - A bridge, a suicide, a councillor's office spattered with blood: Rebus finds Edinburgh's elite have plenty to hide.
Fleshmarket Close - A murdered immigrant, two buried skeletons, one missing teenager: Rebus digs through Edinburgh's underworld for the truth.
