Fleshmarket Close: An Inspector Rebus Novel 15 (A Rebus Novel)

The fifteenth Inspector Rebus novel from the SUNDAY TIMES No. 1 bestselling author.

An illegal immigrant is found murdered in an Edinburgh housing scheme. Rebus is drawn into the case, but has other problems:

• His old police station has closed for business.
• His masters want him to retire.

But Rebus is stubborn. As he investigates, he must:

• Visit an asylum seekers' detention centre.
• Deal with the sleazy Edinburgh underworld.
• Maybe even fall in love...

Meanwhile, Siobhan has problems of her own:

• A teenager has disappeared and Siobhan must help the family, which means getting close to a convicted rapist.

Then there's the small matter of two skeletons found buried beneath a cellar floor in Fleshmarket Close. An elaborate stunt - but whose, and for what purpose? And how can it tie to the murder on the housing-scheme known as Knoxland?
