by Ian Rankin

Based in Edinburgh, Inspector John Rebus has to battle with demons of his own, while also attempting to unveil and uncover the brutal crimes he has to confront as part of his increasingly important workload. Ian Rankin, OBE, subtly introduces challenging social issues into each novel - racial prejudice, the sleaze behind the tourist-friendly facade and a rapidly evolving Scotland - are all expertly covered. This set of ten books includes Let It Bleed, Mortal Causes and Doors Open.
