The Naming of the Dead (An Inspector Rebus)

About “The Naming of the Dead (An Inspector Rebus)”

The leaders of the free world gather in Scotland for an international conference, requiring every police officer for security duties—except John Rebus. His reputation makes his superiors keep him away from the event, so he is assigned to an abandoned police station when a call comes in. During a preconference dinner at Edinburgh Castle, a delegate falls to his death, and Rebus is drawn into the investigation. A grim discovery near the conference site raises questions about whether the death was an accident, suicide, or something more dangerous. As government and secret services try to suppress the case, Rebus has seventy-two hours to uncover the truth before the world's most powerful men may be in danger.
