Description

Gregor Jack has it all: young, rich, and enchanting, he's a very respected person in Parliament, witha  stunning wife--and a wardrobe bursting with skeletons.  When he's found in a police raid on an Edinburgh brothel, his house of cards starts to topple.  Enter Detective John Rebus: he smells a collection-up.  When Jack's showy wife Elizabeth vanishes, Rebus reveals a complete-house of orgies, drunken events, an incestuous "Bunch" of fraudulent friends,and fundamentally Elizabeth's terribly crushed body.  Today Rebus is on a brand new mission--to locate a monster who retains all the cards.
