This was brilliant. Must have read it before and quite recently as published in 2016, but didn’t remember it at all. Three plot elements combined – Edinburgh encroached on by Glasgow gangland, as Cafferty is ageing and semi-retired like Rebus; the Edinburgh police and Rebus, Clarke’s and Malcolm Fox’s slightly complex interplay and historic child abuse in a children’s home; the latter a bit of an overplayed theme recently. But this was brilliantly written and plotted and I really enjoyed it. No point, I don’t think, in summarising the plot – enough said and it would take too long!
