One of my favourite authors, and he lives up to his repuation with this one.
From Ian Rankin's website:-
"G8 ... George Bush ... Rebus ...
The Naming of the Dead promises a potent mix of action and politics, set against a backdrop of the most devastating week in recent British history.
Set in July 2005 when the G8 leaders gathered in Scotland. Facing daily marches, demonstrations, and scuffles, the police are at full stretch. Detective Inspector John Rebus, however, has been sidelined, until the apparent suicide of an MP coincides with clues that a serial killer may be on the loose. The authorities are keen to hush up both, for fear of overshadowing a meeting of global importance – but Rebus has never been one to stick to the rules, and when his colleague Siobhan Clarke finds herself hunting down the identity of the riot cop who assaulted her mother, it looks as though Rebus and Clarke may be up pitted against both sides in the conflict."
The usual absorbing read from this talented writer.
