The Black Book and Mortal Causes
By: Ian Rankin
Two books in One The Black Book,----- When a close colleague is brutally attacked, Inspector John Rebus is drawn into a case involving a hotel fire, an unidentified body, and a long forgotten night of terror and murder. Pursued by dangerous ghost and tormented by the coded secrets of his colleagues's notebook, Rebus must piece together a jigsaw no one--perhaps not even he wants completed.
Mortal Causes----It is August in Edinburgh and the Festival is in full swing. A brutally tortured body is d...iscovered in one of the city's ancient subterranen streets and marks on the corpse cause Rebus to suspect the involvement of sectarian activists. The prospect of a terrorist atrocity in a city heaving with tourists is almost unthinkable. And when the victim turns out to be the son of a notorious gangster, Rebus realises he is sitting atop a volcano of mayhem about to erupt.
