The Naming Of The Dead

*The Naming of the Dead* by Ian Rankin drops you straight into a tense Scottish crime thriller where politics, public pressure and police loyalties collide. With the G8 summit descending on Scotland, Edinburgh is on edge—and so is Detective Inspector John Rebus.

When an MP is found dead in what looks like suicide, Rebus starts asking the wrong questions and is promptly told to back off. He doesn’t. Alongside Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke, who’s chasing her own unsettling lead, Rebus digs into what the authorities would rather keep buried. As protests build and the world’s media watches, hints of something far darker emerge: a serial killer may be circling the chaos.

Perfect for readers who love gritty detective fiction, police procedurals, moral grey areas, and suspenseful Edinburgh settings.

Add it to your cart if you’re ready for Rankin at his sharpest.
