Hide And Seek
Ian Rankin
Orion
<span>A junkie lies dead in 
an Edinburgh squat — spreadeagled, cross-like on the floor between two 
burned-down candles, a five-pointed star daubed on the wall above. Just 
another dead addict, until John Rebus begins to chip away at the 
indifference, treachery, deceit and sleaze that lurks behind the facade 
of the Edinburgh familiar to the tourists. Only Rebus seems to care 
about a death which looks more like murder every day, about a seductive 
danger he can almost taste, appealing to the darkest corners of his 
mind.</span>
