About this listen

A student has gone missing in Edinburgh - completely out of character. She's not just any student, though, but the daughter of extremely well-to-do and influential bankers. There's almost nothing to go on until Detective Inspector John Rebus gets an unmistakable gut feeling that there's more to this than just another runaway spaced out on unaccustomed freedom or worse.

Two leads emerge: a carved wooden doll in a toy coffin, found in the student's home village, and an Internet role-playing game. The ancient and the modern, brought together by uncomfortable circumstance and a curmudgeonly detective happier with long-playing records than digital technology. In this powerful novel, Rankin brings together past, present, and future in a terrifying duel of good - in the persons of DI Rebus and DC Siobhan Clarke - and evil.

Read by James Macpherson.

I am really enjoying this series, sometimes the plot gets a little complex for my small brain, but I can repeat a chapter and be back on track. The characters are another reason I enjoy them. The narrator or should that be reader is great also. I watched a TV episode of Rebus... not a patch on the books.

If you like the Rebus stories, this is another great addition. The narration is very poor though. The narrator switches a few times through the book and it throws the flow of the book. The last chapter is read twice by different narrators.

Good Rebus story as always, badly edited.

Almost impossible to press pause - great story very well read. The drama is cranked up as well the interesting and touching back stories of the characters - good and bad. Nice to be in the posh part of Edinburgh for once even though the people are just as badly behaved. Loved it

Gripping hard to stop listening to
