Dive into a gripping crime thriller from Ian Rankin, the multimillion-copy bestselling author. Naming of the Dead follows Detective Inspector John Rebus as he investigates a suspicious death during the G8 summit in Scotland.
Product Information: The world is watching. And a killer is waiting... When Detective Inspector John Rebus starts looking into the apparent suicide of an MP, he is abruptly told to drop the case. Why? Because the leaders of the G8 are gathering in Scotland, and Rebus' bosses want him well out of the way. But Rebus never was one to follow orders... With the help of Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke - who has a very personal reason for hunting down a riot cop - both Rebus and Clarke are set on a collision course against their own force. And - with the eyes of the world on them - they soon uncover evidence that a serial killer may be waiting in the wings...
