Needed a bit of a detective, after all that rather literary stuff.
I have come to enjoy Ian Rankin rather more second time round, although this reminded slightly of the rather over cerebral ludic novels of Reginald Hill, maybe just because there was a game being played at its centre.
But apart from this it is a pretty good Rebus, with Siobhan Clarke having a fairly prominent role. She is one of my favourite female sidekicks to the great detective; tales no bullshit from him.
