Another good mystery by Ian Rankin. This better than the previous book, Standing in Another Man's Grave. I liked the dynamics between Rebus, Siobhan, and Fox. The secrets, lies, and relationships from both the past and the present are used to create an entertaining and engaging story for the reader. As usual Rebus's past casts shadows on the present, and Fox's investigations into that past provides for an interesting relationship between those two characters. It can be read as a stand-alone, but would be best appreciated by those familiar with Rankin's Rebus mysteries.
