Even Dogs in the Wild
Retirement doesn't suit John Rebus. He wasn't made for hobbies, holidays or home improvements. Being a cop is in his blood. So when DI Siobhan Clarke asks for his help on a case, Rebus doesn't need long to consider his options. Clarke's been investigating the death of a senior lawyer whose body was found along with a threatening note. On the other side of Edinburgh, Big Ger Cafferty - Rebus's long-time nemesis - has received an identical note and a bullet through his window. Now it's up to Clarke and Rebus to connect the dots and stop a killer. Even Dogs in the Wild brings back Ian Rankin's greatest characters in a story exploring the darkest corners of our instincts and desires.

Světové krimipovídky - 2.vydání
To nejlepší ze světové krimi.
Není co dodat.
Co napsat o knize, do níž jsou zařazeny krimipovídky od šestatřiceti mistrů tohoto žánru? Snad jen pár nejslavnějších jmen: Jeffery Deaver, Jo Nesbo, Boris Akunin nebo Ruth Rendellová.
Bylo by ale nespravedlivé vzbuzovat dojem, že další autoři jsou tam jen tak do počtu. Erudovaný editor Maxim Jakubowski věděl dobře, co dělá, když tuto antologii sestavoval. Výsledkem jeho pečlivého výběru je kniha, v níž vás každá povídka chytí a nepustí. Uchvátí. Překvapí. A každá docela něčím jiným.

Rather Be the Devil
Some cases never leave you. For John Rebus, forty years may have passed, but the death of beautiful, promiscuous Maria Turquand still preys on his mind. Murdered in her hotel room on the night a famous rock star and his entourage were staying there, Maria's killer has never been found. Meanwhile, the dark heart of Edinburgh remains up for grabs. A young pretender, Darryl Christie, may have staked his claim, but a vicious attack leaves him weakened and vulnerable, and an inquiry into a major money laundering scheme threatens his position. Has old-time crime boss Big Ger Cafferty really given up the ghost, or is he biding his time until Edinburgh is once more ripe for the picking? In a tale of twisted power, deep-rooted corruption and bitter rivalries, Rather Be the Devil showcases Rankin and Rebus at their unstoppable best.

Omnibus Uzly a kříže, Hra na schovávanou, Zuby neh
Edinburgh, pýcha Skotů… To město je jako Jekyll a Hyde. Za denního světla nastavuje všem svou přívětivou tvář, tváří se pohostinně a láká k návštěvě. V noci se však proměňuje v netvora. Je zlé, kruté, nemilosrdné. Hrdina Rankinových detektivních románů je policista a projíždí městem převážně v noci, zná jeho temné periferie a podsvětní putyky. Jmenuje se John Rebus, sám nepatří mezi vzorové příslušníky policejního sboru, ale člověk nemůže moc hledět na předpisy, když mu přímo pod nosem někdo vraždí.
