LET IT BLEED: Book 7

Detective Inspector John Rebus knows that most murders are driven by simple motives: passion, greed, fear. But when bodies begin to pile up - two apparent suicides, a murder, and the unexplained death of a prisoner inside one of Scotland's largest jails, he quickly realises there is nothing straightforward about this case. What Rebus does know is where it began: a small, seemingly insignificant embezzlement. What he uncovers is something far more disturbing. Beneath the deaths lies a carefully concealed conspiracy, one that stretches deep into the city's political elite and climbs alarmingly close to the very top. As Rebus digs deeper, the stakes rise - powerful figures close ranks, evidence disappears, and the danger becomes personal. His job is on the line. His life is at risk. Even his young daughter may be caught in the fallout. Determined to expose the truth, Rebus pushes on, knowing that some of those responsible believe themselves untouchable, protected by influence, status and the law itself. But if they think they are beyond justice, they may have underestimated just how far Rebus is willing to go. 360 page paperback.
