A CASE THAT WON'T DIE

John Rebus can't close the door on the death of glamorous socialite Maria
Turquand. Brutally murdered in her hotel room forty years ago, her killer has
never been found.

Meanwhile, Edinburgh's dark heart is up for grabs. Young pretender Darryl
Christie may have staked his claim on the city's underworld - but has criminal
mastermind and Rebus' long-time adversary, Big Ger Cafferty, really settled
down to a quiet retirement? Or is he hiding in the shadows until Edinburgh is
once more ripe for the picking?

Old Enemies. New Crimes. Rebus may be off the force, but he certainly isn't
off the case.
