About This Book
Packed off to the remote Scottish Police College for a lesson in teamwork -- after hurling a mug at his supervisor's face -- Inspector John Rebus finds himself in a snake pit. His classmates, an unruly band of rebel cops known as Resurrection Men, are suspected of orchestrating an elaborate drug heist, and Rebus is recruited by headquarters to get to the bottom of things. It's no easy task: the investigation threatens to uncover a secret Rebus has spent years trying to conceal, and before long Rebus finds himself in the thick of a scandal with conspirators seemingly everywhere --men who have no problem, spilling blood to get what they want.
