Saints of the Shadow Bible by Ian Rankin

Saints of the Shadow Bible by Ian Rankin

Old crimes don't stay buried... From the No.1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES 'Ian Rankin is a genius' Lee Child

It's a novel densely packed with incident and intrigue, and Rankin's thriller plotting is sublime as ever..Rebus remains a remarkably lived-in and mesmerising figurehead of the genre * INDEPENDENT *
Along come reminders of why Rankin, and Rebus, take their place at the head of the pack. A brief phone conversation between Rebus and a colleague is so tight, so efficiently written and so funny that you fall in love with the series all over again...add the novel to your contacts, or at least your Christmas list * THE TIMES *
Subtle, and ambitious... it is a fascinating exploration of ideas of loyalty and allegiance in a changing world, as well as a welcome return for a battered but tenacious survivor * GUARDIAN *
Rebus is determinedly centre-stage in Rankin's finest novel for years. A first-rate thriller but also a forensic examination of contemporary Scottish society * INDEPENDENT *
Ian Rankin unfolds a mystery that intrigues enough to keep one reading to the end * LITERARY REVIEW *
He weaves his dual plots into an ever more tangled maze, and then smoothly, oh so satisfactorily, irons them out again. SAINTS OF THE SHADOW BIBLE is a clever, subtle read but most of all, it's a genuine pleasure to see Rebus back in CID * OBSERVER *
Praise be! Ian Rankin's maverick inspector is a cop once again... It is a tribute to Rankin's consummate skill that this complicated tale of "lying and cheating and concealing" is so streamlined.... A brilliant return - for Rebus and Rankin * EVENING STANDARD *
