A horrific shooting accident at a private school just north of Edinburgh: two seventeen-year-olds killed by an ex-Army loner who has gone off the rails.A man who finally turns the gun on himself.As Detective Inspector John Rebus puts it, 'there's no mystery' . . . except the why.
But this question takes Rebus into the heart of a shattered community.Ex-Army himself,Rebus becomes fascinated by the killer,and finds he is not alone.Military investigators are on the scene,and won't be shaken off.The man had friends and enemies to spare - ranging from civic leaders to the local Goths - leaving behind a legacy of secrets and lies.
But Rebus faces his own trials too.
A petty criminal who has been stalking his friend and colleague,Siobahn Clarke, has been found burnt to death in his own home.And Rebus is fresh out of hospital,hands heavily bandaged . . .
'A Question of Blood' is a novel about blood, about family and friendship,and about betrayal. It's also a story of two men - one killer,one cop - united by a bond of common history.
