The Flood by Ian Rankin

The Flood by Ian Rankin

The book that began Ian Rankin's phenomenal career. From the No.1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES

The themes that would come to dominate the Rebus books are already here in embryonic form: the blurred boundaries between good and evil; the pull of superstition and myth; the difficulties in escaping and resolving one's past; the emotional complexities of the male of the species; and, not least, a good mystery * TIME OUT *
A must for lovers of Rankin * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
Full of secrets and revelations, with an atmospheric sense of time and place, it has Rankin's signature darknessA young man's book - and the start of something big * CHOICE *
Rankin's talent is clear ... The Flood's use of Scottish mythology is clever. The depiction of the single mother at the book's heart is often finely drawn and always sympathetic ... There is, too, a real tension to its closing chapters -- John Connolly * IRISH TIMES *
