Cover.

"MP George Jack is caught in an Edinburgh brothel with a prostitute only too keen to show off her considerable assets. When the media horde begins baying for political blood Jack's friends rally around to protect him. But some of those friends - particularly his wife's associates - are not so squeaky clean themselves.

Initially Detective Inspector Rebus is sympathetic to the MP's dilema - who hasn't occasionally succumbed to temptation?- but with the disappearance of jack's wife the glamour surrounding the popular young man begins to tarnish. Someone wants to strip Jack naked and Rebus wants to know why ....".

I read this one a long time ago and have had it (unregistered) on my Private Collection for almost as long again. However, having been given a set of Rebus books as a present, I am at last breaking up my original collection to use the present as my private collection instead.

I've had a fondness for the Rebus books for a long time. Hope you enjoy them as well!

Happy travels little book!

Thank you for this book. I have already read a couple of Ian Rankin's Rebus books and hope to read many more :)

Sure I have watched this on TV. Enjoyed catching up with Rebus again :)

Welcome to Bookcrossing!

You have found a travelling book. Why not join in the fun? Read, release and pass on but don't forget to write a Journal Entry telling us where you found the book, if you read it what you thought about it and where you are going to leave it. If you join bookcrossing before you do the entry you will get an alert when the next person writes up about it and can track its travels. If you prefer to just leave an Anonymous Journal Entry, it will brighten up my day either way. Oh and if you like the book sooooo much you just don't want to let it go that is fine too, maybe one day eh ☺

Enjoy!!
