It doesn't look like murder until Detective Inspector John Rebus starts to chip away at the indifference and sleaze that's covering the case. Only Rebus seems to care about a death which looks more like a murder every day, about a seductive danger he can almost taste, appealing to the darkest corners of his mind.
