Inspector Rebus #8 : Black and Blue (P)

A Tangled Web of Justice

Detective John Rebus is a man under siege. Juggling four cases at once, he's on the trail of a killer who may hold a link to the legendary and elusive Bible John. But as the clues start to converge, so do the dangers, and Rebus finds himself in the crosshairs of not just criminals but his own department.

An internal inquiry, led by a man Rebus has accused of corruption, is scrutinizing his every move, while a TV documentary crew circles like vultures, accusing him of being complicit in a miscarriage of justice. With the glare of public opinion and professional sabotage closing in, Rebus must tread carefully. One misstep could not only cost him his badge but his life.

Balancing the weight of unsolved murders, departmental politics, and media scrutiny, Rebus dives deeper into a case that threatens to unravel everything. Will he outsmart his enemies and bring the killer to justice, or will the web of deceit ensnare him?

A thrilling and gritty exploration of morality, ambition, and the price of justice, this is Rebus at his most relentless.
