Synopsis
When a close colleague is brutally attacked, Inspector John Rebus is drawn into a case involving a hotel fire, an unidentified body, and a long forgotten night of terror and murder. Pursued by dangerous ghosts and tormented by the coded secrets of his colleague's notebook, Rebus must piece together the most complex and confusing of jigsaws. But not everyone wants the puzzle solved - perhaps not even Rebus himself ...
Review
Another great Rebus book. This is an old one but I have only just managed to get a copy from the library.
The Black Book looks back at one of Rebus cold cases, one that they never got an answer to, but Rebus as usual has been suspended from duty because he has been given a gun which he should not be carrying in his car! What he doesn't know is that it is the gun that shot the person dead in the fire at the hotel.
Rebus is like a dog with a bone and whilst they are investigating something else which involves the local tax office he goes off to try and make sense of what he is seeing in his colleague's little black book and gets the answers he does not want, or does he?
I love Ian Rankin's style of writing, it is a thing that I can read anytime anywhere and not have nightmares. I love to lose myself in his books and forget the worries of the world around about me. Just keep writing Ian you have a fan here that can't get enough of your books.
