IN A HOUSE OF LIES

Ian Rankin. IN A HOUSE OF LIES. Orion, 2018.

Back by popular demand, Rebus wheedles his way into the investigation of how a skeleton with handcuffed ankles ended up in the trunk of a car abandoned thirteen years ago. He suspects the body is Stuart Bloom, missing since 2006. Siobhan tries to distract him by asking him to review a conviction which the family of the youth is questioning. Corruption everywhere. Police Scotland are attempting to instill a new institutional culture. Rebus favours "the old ways".
