From bestselling Ian Rankin, winner of the 1997 CWA Macallan Gold Dagger for fiction for Black & Blue, come the early Inspector Rebus novels, gathered in one volume for the first time.
Knots & Crosses has Rebus hunting a killer who taunts police with messages made out of knotted string and matchstick crosses. In Hide & Seek, a junkie found dead in an Edinburgh squat is regarded as just another overdose, until Rebus finds it looking more like murder every day. And Tooth & Nail sees Rebus drafted down to London to assist in the hunt for a killer known as the Wolfman, after his penchant for taking bites out of his victims. A sterling chance to catch up on Rebus career. Quite simply, crime-writing of the highest order (Daily Express)
