Synopsis- Resurrection Men (LB, 2003), Ian Rankin's debut on the Little, Brown and Company list, heralded his long overdue breakout in the US and was nominated for a 2004 Edgar Award for best novel. A Question of Blood (LB, 2004) only increased his growing fan base. Fleshmarket Alley promises to be Rankin's biggest book yet. - The mass market paperback of Rankin's latest hit, A Question of Blood, hits stores just one month before Fleshmarket Alley appears in hardover, luring even more teaders to this incredible series. - Ian Rankin is admired by some of the most successful mystery writers of our time--P.D. James, Michael Connelly, and Jonathan Kellerman count him among their favorite authors., On a notorious street where propriety and decadence clash, in the basement of a newly renovated bar, the bones of a woman and child are discovered beneath a cement floor. It's an unusually gruesome find, even for Fleshmarket Alley. When Inspector John Rebus is called to investigate, every fact he finds unleashes a host of new questions. Are the bones those of a mother and child? Are they actual human remains or fakes? Were they planted there - and if so, why?It could be nothing more than a ruthless and enterprising pub owner looking to create a local legend that will help lure trade. Or it could be something far worse - something as grisly as the death of a recent immigrant found brutally murdered at a local housing project, or the murder of Donald Cruikshank, a recently paroled rapist whose body is found just as a young woman goes missing. The missing girl is a friend of Inspector Rebus's colleague Detective Siobhan Clarke, and Siobhan is shocked to find herself in the same intricate web of murderers as Rebus - all somehow tied to that pile of bones under Fleshmarket Alley.In a race to stop the killings before more bodies turn up - even as the possibility of romantic entanglements distracts and entices them - Rebus and Siobhan plumb the darkest corners of their beloved city and confront the lawless, conscienceless men who dwell there. Writing with the unstoppable narrative force that has made him one of the bestselling writers in the world, Edgar Award-winner Ian Rankin delivers his most explosive and surprising mystery yet., In this Edgar Award-winning novel, human bones are discovered in the basement of a newly renovated bar on Fleshmarket Alley in Edinburgh's red-light district. Called to investigate, Inspector John Rebus soon finds himself near the center of an intricate web of murders.
