Review:

'A subtle, moving novel sometimes redolent of his [Rankin] Edgar-winning RESURRECTION MEN.' * IRISH TIMES * 'A treat for Rankin fans as favourite characters are re-united in this darkly moody crime masterpiece.' * PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH * 'A brilliant read, Rebus is back where he belongs and still working by his own rules. A must for all Rebus fans.' * WOMAN'S WAY * 'A very welcome return to the beat for one of crime fiction's best detectives.' * SUNDAY MIRROR * 'A chewy, satisfying, thrilling read with a giant narrative switchback when you least expect it.' * METRO * 'Pacy, engaging, smart, ingenious, excellently riddled and raddled - what's not to like about Rebus?' * SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY * 'EVEN DOGS IN THE WILD is a complex, twisty tale expertly told by Rankin.' * EVENING STANDARD * 'Delightful, impossible-to-fault crime writing from a virtuoso of the craft.' * DAILY MAIL * 'Taut, dark and expertly crafted tale has plenty to satisfy the most exacting Rebus fan.' * GUARDIAN *
