The Falls

"Rankin is a master storyteller, and his Rebus novels are a national treasure." —The Guardian Tooth and Nail is another outstanding entry in the internationally acclaimed, award winning, bestselling Inspector Rebus series of novels. Scottish homicide detective John Rebus has been sent from "North of the Border" to help London police catch a serial killer, thanks to a supposed expertise in the modus operandi of serial killers., Inspector John Rebus reluctantis on a train south from Edinburgh. His Scotland Yard opposite number, George Flight. isn't too happy at yet more interference. It's bad enough having several Chief Inspectors on your back without being hounded at every turn by an upstart Jock. Rebus is going to have to deal with racial prejudice as well as the predations of a violent maniac. When he's offered a serial killer profile of the Wolfman by an attractive lady psychologist, it's too good an opportunity to turn down. But in finding an ally, he may have given his enemies an easy means of attack. Teamed with a London cop he wants to trust but can't, Rebus gets a break when a beautiful psychologist develops a bizarre but surprisingly portrait of the killer. Now it's only a question of who is going to get busted first: the cop with the accent who breaks all the rules—or the psychopath painting London with blood . . .
