Scottish homicide detective John Rebus has been sent from "North of the Border" to help London police catch a serial killer with a gruesome M.O. Teamed with a London cop he wants to trust but can"t, Rebus lets a beautiful psychologist into the case develops a bizarre portrait of a killer who leaves bite marks and tears on each victim"s body. Now it"s only a question of who is going to get busted first: the cop with the accent who breaks all the rules--or the pyscho painting London with blood... The New York Times calls Ian Rankin"s Inspector Rebus books "A superior series," and Tooth and Nail is another outstanding entry.
