Description

Drugs.  Extortion.  Slavery.  Prepared crime is battling for a hang on John Rebus's tranquil Scotland.  And when Rebus saves a Bosnian woman pushed into prostitution, he smashes a policeman's golden rule never to get personally involved in a case.  Increase the search for an aged Nazi accused of slaughtering a whole German town, and Rebus miracles so just how bad people can be.  Until their own child is mortally hurt as a gangland caution for him to back off.  Subsequently a committed cop like Rebus will make a cope with the devil to obtain the culprit.  Not for justice.  For revenge.
