Spies of the Balkans
Salonika, 1940. In the backrooms of barbers, envelopes change hands, and in the Club de Salonique the air is thick with whispers. Costa Zannis is the city's dashing chief detective, and as unknown ships and British "travel writers" trickle through the port, he is a man very much in demand. Having helped defeat Italy in the highlands of Macedonia, Zannis returns to a city holding its breath. And as the situation in Germany worsens, Zannis becomes involved in a plot to smuggle Jews to Istanbul through the back door of Europe. The British hear he can penetrate the continent's closed borders, and soon Zannis is embroiled in the resistance, and in a reckless love affair that could jeopardise everything.

Fleshmarket Close
Fleshmarket Close finds Detective Inspector John Rebus being nudged ever closer to the sidelines. His observation: "I'm not supposed to be here," are the opening words of the book, and that is certainly the message someone is trying to send. The CID
office at his old station had been downsized out of existence, and he's been moved over to Gayfield Square, where he's so welcome they don't even bother getting him a proper desk (unlike his colleague Siobhan Clarke, who also got shipped here). But R
ebus isn't a behind-the-desk kind of guy, anyway: he tends to be on the move -- or at the pub (any pub). There are a couple of bodies and mysteries in Fleshmarket Close: two skeletons dug up at a pub, a murdered asylum seeker, a girl whose sister wa
s raped who has disappeared (with the rapist getting his soon later). Little is originally what it seems (starting with those skeletons), and pretty much everything winds up being connected.
