Black and Blue (Inspector John Rebus Series #8) »

One of the most successful -- and bestselling -- Scottish crime authors around, Ian Rankin is perhaps most famous for the acclaimed Inspector Rebus series, which has consistently topped the Sunday Times bestseller lists, and was adapted into a mega-popular television series across the pond.

A copycat is at work, nicknamed "Bible Johnny" by the media, a new menace with violent ambitions.

New York Times Book Review

Ian Rankin's Scottish police procedurals are so gritty you have to pick the shards out of your teeth when you finish one, and Black and Blue is as flinty as they come.
