Black And Blue

This book is Ian Rankin's masterpiece. Using the device of a Bible John copycat, Rankin examines Scotland through the lens of it's
reaction to the original murders. Rebus is, as always, a fascinating puzzle of a character. Rebus is someone who must know the truth, must find out the answers and no cost is too high for him to pay - because only the truth heals.
This was the first book of Rankin's I ever read and by god did it set a high standard. I don't I've ever read a crime novel that was more interesting, more insightful, more revealing.
This book is recommended to everyone. You will not read a better crime novel or a better book about Scotland pre-devolution than this.
