Falls

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. 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 . . . 'Rankin continues to be unsurpassed
among living British crime writers... He makes the reader feel part of
the scene, and enhances the experience with his virtuosity with dialogue
. . . But all these virtues would count for little if Rankin didn't
also possess the most important asset of them all - the ability to tell a
damned good story' Marcel Berlins, The Times
