Drugs. Extortion. Slavery. Organized crime is fighting for a hold on
John Rebus's peaceful Scotland. And when Rebus rescues a young Bosnian
girl forced into prostitution, he breaks a policeman's golden rule to
never get personally involved in a case. Add to that the hunt for an
elderly Nazi accused of slaughtering an entire French village, and Rebus
wonders just how evil humans can be--until his own daughter is mortally
injured as a gangland warning for him to back off. Then even a dedicated
cop like Rebus might make a deal with the devil to find the culprit. Not
for justice. For revenge.
