Synopsis

The sixth Inspector Rebus novel from the No.1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES.
'An outstanding creation' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

It is August in Edinburgh and the Festival is in full swing...

When the victim turns out to be the son of a notorious gangster, Rebus realises he is sitting atop a volcano of mayhem - and it's just about to erupt.
