Description:
In a city where television, private cars and popular music are banned and crime is reportedly non-existent, a brutal serial killer is on the loose. Edinburgh in the year 2020 appears to be no less susceptible to cold-blooded murder than in the years before the Enlightenment took over the city.
Expand description
The killing of a guardswoman -- the first murder in five years -- signals the return of the killer "the Ear, Nose and Throat Man" and leaders are forced to turn to the rebel they demoted for his unwillingness to uphold the new order. Only blues-haunted P.I. Dalrymple can uncover the conspiracy of violence and corruption that threatens to dismember the body politic in this "thrilling hunt-the-psycho novel with countless twists" (Ian Rankin).
