inulro73. Saints of the Shadow Bible by Ian Rankin
As I am without funds at the moment I should have waited till I could get this from the library, but I scored a ticket to an author event and I very much wanted to meet Ian Rankin, so I got the book and had it signed, and thanked him for turning me back on to crime fiction when my PhD went toilet-wards.
Rebus is back in the regular police, but he's a detective sergeant and Siobhan is his boss, and he's forced to work with Malcolm Fox of The Complaints (Scottish colloquialism for internal affairs).
Still not as good as Dead Souls (the first one I read and as far as I'm concerned, the best), but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
