Black & Blue (Negra (Rba Libros)) Book

"I'm a peeper, he thought, a voyeur. All cops are. But he knew he was more than that: he liked to get involved in the lives around him. He had a need to know which went beyond voyeurism. It was a drug. And the thing was, when he had all this knowledge, he then had to use booze to blank it out..." In his ninth outing, Edinburgh's glowering and tenacious Inspector John Rebus finds a unique way of cutting back on alcohol. Convinced that Rebus might lie or try to destroy evidence in the reopened case of a man convicted of a murder he probably didn't commit, the investigating officer assigns him a babysitter. Luckily, the minder is one of Rebus's old mentors, Jack Morton, a former drinking buddy now waging a successful battle against the bottle. Rebus and Morton burn off energy and anger repainting Rebus's apartment, while trying to clear Rebus's name and exploring the connection between a recent string of murders and a real-life Scottish serial killer of the 1970s known as Bible John. The cases take Rebus to Aberdeen and an oil platform in the North Atlantic, but as usual the main action happens within the mind and soul of Rankin's meticulously crafted creation. Previous entries in the memorable Rebus series are also available, including Let It Bleed, Hide and Seek, Knots and Crosses, Mortal Causes, and Tooth and Nail.Read More

  • Product Description

    "Bible John" terrorized Glasgow in the sixties and seventies, murdering three women ?and he was never caught. Now a copycat, "Bible Johnny", is a new menace with violent ambitions. This new case would be perfect for Inspector John Rebus, but after a run-in with a crooked senior officer, he's been shunted aside to one of Edinburgh's toughest suburbs, where he investigates the murder of an off-duty oilman. His investigation takes him north to the oilrigs of Aberdeen, where he meets the "Bible Johnny" media circus head-on. Suddenly caught in the glare of the television cameras and in the middle of more than one investigation, Rebus must proceed with caution: One mistake could mean an unpleasant and not particularly speedy death, or, worse still, losing his job.

    Description in Spanish: John Biblia aterrorizó a Glasgow en los años 60 y 70, cuando asesinó a tres mujeres, asesinatos por los cuales nunca pudieron detenerlo. Ahora, Johnny Biblia, como lo han bautizado los medios de comunicación, parece matar para apropiarse de la gloria del legendario asesino. Son cuatro los casos que el inspector, John Rebus, relaciona y que aparentemente conducen al depravado asesino. Al mismo tiempo, Rebus se ve envuelto en una investigación interna dirigida por un compañero a quien ha acusado de recibir sobornos de un poderoso mafioso. Y por si esto fuera poco es perseguido por las cámaras de una cadena de televisión que investiga errores judiciales. Cualquier paso en falso podría costarle su empleo o desencadenar una particular muerte lenta.
