Strip Jack (A Rebus Novel)
Gregor Jack, MP, well-liked, young, married to the fiery Elizabeth - to the outside world a very public success story. But Jack's carefully nurtured career plans take a tumble after a 'mistake' during a police raid on a notorious Edinburgh brothel. Then Elizabeth disappears, a couple of bodies float into view where they shouldn't, and a lunatic speaks from his asylum...
Initially Rebus is sympathetic to the MP's dilemma - who hasn't occasionally succumbed to temptation? - but with the disappearance of Jack's wife the glamour surrounding the popular young man begins to tarnish. Someone wants to strip Jack naked and Rebus wants to know why...

Review:
Here DI John Rebus investigates why someone wants to strip MP Gregor Jack of everything that matters to him - and be warned, this one you'll want to stay in the car for until it ends. (Kati Nicholl Sunday Express)
DI Rebus isn't convinced by a Scottish MP's story. A twist-in-the-tale tape-turner, one of Rankin's best, brilliantly read by James Macpherson. (CHOICE)
won a gold medal in the crime category at this year's Spoken Words awards. Bliss (The Irish Times)
¿James MacPherson¿s readins of Ian Rankin¿s novels deserve a special place in the audio-thrillers¿ hall of fame. He takes us straight into the back of DC Rebus¿s head, and makes us loth to leave it. STRIP JACK is a juicily long abridgement, which allows plenty of time for us to get to know a gallery of possible suspects for the murder of an MP¿s wife who has an inconvenient liking for perverted sexual horseplay.' (Christina Hardyment THE INDEPENDENT MAGAZINE)
