ExcellentPar Phil-DonLe roman connait trois points de départ: 1) un immigré illégal a été tué 2) un squelette est retrouvé sous une dalle de béton dans la cave d'un pub 3) une jeune fille, dont la soeur s'était suicidée après avoir été victime d'un viol quelques années plus tôt, a disparu - peu après la libération du violeur...Cette 15ème aventure de Rebus est (à nouveau) l'occasion d'une lecture captivante. Les personnages, l'évocation des lieux, les dialogues et, bien sûr, l'intrigue, tout contribue à la réussite du roman. C'est bien écrit, bien pensé - et s'accompagne dans le cas présent d'une réflexion sur l'immigration. A recommander donc, comme toute la série d'ailleurs. Description du produit#1 international bestseller Ian Rankin sends Inspector John Rebus into the dark streets of Edinburgh's flesh trade when a shocking murder exposes an even more sinister underworld. Inspector John Rebus has confronted Edinburgh's most hardened criminals, its bloodiest crime scenes, and its most dangerous backstreets--but nothing could prepare him for what he finds on Fleshmarket Alley. In the city's red-light district, men go to live out their fantasies, and women with no other choice sell their bodies to make a buck. It's a neighborhood of lost inhibitions, scruples, and dreams. In its seediest clubs, refugees seeking asylum in Scotland are subjected to the whims of the most ruthless characters in the crime world--men Rebus knows all too well. With his singular knack for making crime captivating, Ian Rankin delivers his most explosive mystery to date, fulfilling the promise millions of readers in the United Kingdom and America have seen throughout his accomplished career. Présentation de l'éditeurThe fifteenth Inspector Rebus novel from the SUNDAY TIMES No. 1 bestselling author.An illegal immigrant is found murdered in an Edinburgh housing scheme. Rebus is drawn into the case, but has other problems: his old police station has closed for business, and his masters want him to retire. But Rebus is stubborn. As he investigates, he must visit an asylum seekers' detention centre, deal with the sleazy Edinburgh underworld, and maybe even fall in love...Siobhan meanwhile has problems of her own. A teenager has disappeared and Siobhan must help the family, which means getting close to a convicted rapist. Then there's the small matter of the two skeletons found buried beneath a cellar floor in Fleshmarket Close. An elaborate stunt - but whose, and for what purpose? And how can it tie to the murder on the housing-scheme known as Knoxland?From Publishers WeeklyStarred . This abridgement of Rankin's 15th novel about Edinburgh police investigator John Rebus ends with an interview in which the author says he prefers to ignore abridgments. He should make an exception in this case. It's a particularly well- conceived adaptation that discards many of the book's more verbose passages and moves Rebus and his associate investigator Siobhan Clarke quickly into action. It also clarifies an overly complex plot that interweaves the possibly racist murder of an asylum-seeking Kurd; the disappearance of a young woman into the city's red light district; and the appearance of two skeletons uncovered during a pub renovation. Crucial series elements are not only retained but highlighted, such as Rebus's realization that, with his forced retirement approaching, his feeling for Clarke is taking a less platonic turn. Adding to the production's overall appeal is reader MacPherson, whose Scottish burr, though pronounced enough to make Sean Connery sound like a pommy Brit, complements Rankin's well-etched cast of Edinburgh denizens. In a display of vocal versatility, he easily segues from male to female, from members of the upper crust to bottom feeders, from guttural Kurds of varying ages to an Asian lawyer with a Far Eastern lilt. His bravura performance, added to the canny editing, results in satisfying proof that less can be more. Simultaneous release with the Little, Brown hardcover (Forecasts, Jan. 10). (Feb.)

All rights reserved.From AudioFileThe skeletons of a mother and child, discovered when the cellar floor of a pub is excavated, turn out to be fakes. But the missing teenager and the stabbed body of a Kurdish journalist are very real. Scottish actor James MacPherson adds legitimacy to Rankin's gritty tale with his native brogue and with the subtle accents he gives the immigrant characters. Detective Inspector John Rebus sees himself as a man out of place, but racial tensions and the underground slave-trade propel him and his sometimes partner, Siobhan Clark, into a dark world that challenges even Rebus's limits. The reading and production are exceptional, and as an added bonus, the novel is followed by an interview with the author. But the sharp cuts of the abridgment leave loose strands of Rankin's many interwoven subplots.
