Translation of: Atonement; The acid test; Tell me who to kill; Talk show Ian Rankin (Schotland, 1960) is de meester van de moderne misdaadroman. Zijn Rebus-serie gaat over het menselijk tekort, maar ook over een stad als geen andere. Want Edinburgh heeft twee gezichten... Inspecteur John Rebus neemt geen blad voor de mond, is koppig, nieuwsgierig, emotioneel en vasthoudend ‒ niets menselijks is hem vreemd. Het brengt hem vaak in moeilijkheden, maar hij is goed in zijn werk. Een dode met twee mobiele telefoons, de stalker van een radiopresentatrice, familiegeheimen, fraude, overspel, misbruik van ouden van dagen en historisch detectivewerk in de traditie van Sherlock Holmes. Rebus’ werk omvat niet alleen moordzaken...
