When a former soldier and recluse murders two 17-year-old students at a posh Edinburgh boarding school, Rebus immediately suspects there is more to the case than meets the eye. But just as Rebus finds himself in the thick of the murder inquiry, he's threatened with suspension from the police a man who had been menacing his partner and friend, Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke, dies in the same house fire that has left Rebus with horrible, painful burns.
Fleshmarket

Mr. Rankin's novels just seem to get better and better. He has a feel for people and places that is unequaled, and the result is a series of novels that simply beg to be read. Mr. Rankin isn't satisfied to merely write a detective novel; he feels compelled to psychoanalyze every character in his books without mercy, and then offers up his observations and deductions to the reader to make what they can of them. Truly fascinating on many levels.

Inspector Rebus is thrown into a racial conflict and a new station with few resources. Since he is used to relying on his own resources, he makes the most of his natural instincts. The trusty Siobhan is at his side as they track down a missing teen, hatemongers and murderers.

All Rankin is good. I wonder why they changed Fleshmarket Close to Fleshmarket Alley???

Very enjoyable mystery to listen to. Love the voices. Characters are also great. I don't get bored with the character showing up in each book, which says a lot. I can bore fairly easily.
