Compare Dead Souls (Inspector John Rebus Series #10)

A colleague's suicide. Pedophiles. A missing child. A serial killer. Driven by instinct and experience, John Rebus searches for connections, against official skepticism. Soldiering through dank, desperate slums and the tony flats of the Scottish elite, Inspector Rebus uncovers a chain of crime, deceit, and hidden sins—knowing it's really himself he's trying to save. Ian Rankin's is "crime writing of the highest order" ( ).
