Ian Rankin - Saints of the Shadow Bible

In Saints of the Shadow Bible
($26.00), Rebus is back on the force, albeit with a demotion and a chip on his
shoulder. He is investigating a car accident when news arrives that a case from
30 years ago is being reopened. Rebus's team from those days is suspected of
helping a murderer escape justice to further their own ends.



Malcolm Fox, in what will be his last case as an internal affairs cop, is
tasked with finding out the truth. Past and present are about to collide in
shocking and murderous fashion. What does Rebus have to hide? And whose side is
he really on? His colleagues back then called themselves "The
Saints," and swore a bond on something called the Shadow Bible. But times
have changed and the crimes of the past may not stay hidden much longer -- and
may also play a role in the present, as Scotland gears up for a referendum on
independence.



Allegiances are being formed, enemies made, and huge questions asked. Who are
the saints and who the sinners? And can the one ever become the other? 



Ian Rankin is a #1 international bestselling
author. Winner of an Edgar Award and the recipient of a Gold Dagger for fiction
and the Chandler-Fulbright Award, he lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with his
wife and their two sons.
