Three Great Novels

Ian Rankin presents a gripping collection of three captivating novels featuring the relentless Detective Inspector Rebus. In "Strip Jack," the story kicks off with MP Gregor Jack embroiled in scandal after being found at an Edinburgh brothel with a bold prostitute. As the situation worsens with the mysterious disappearance of Jack's wife, someone seems determined to metaphorically strip him of his dignity. Rebus, driven by his curiosity and sense of justice, embarks on an urgent quest to unravel the truth behind this conspiracy, piece by perplexing piece. The narrative continues in "Mortal Causes," set against the bustling backdrop of Edinburgh's renowned Festival in August. The discovery of a horrifically tortured body in the city's ancient underground passages stirs Rebus's suspicions of sectarian violence. The chilling thought of potential terrorism amidst the throngs of festival-goers compels Rebus to delve deeper, confronting the dangerous undertones threatening the city’s safety.
