When I started reading this book, I wondered if I was going to be interested in reading about aging gangsters in Edinburgh fighting over turf while, an aging, sick detective, trying to solve a cold case murder case, returns to work unofficially with his past buddy detectives. I guess it was the engaging conversation among the characters that had me smiling that retained my interest as I read about the methods of money laundering and financial dealings relating to empty shell companies - the cause of the gang warfare. Rebus is quite sick in this novel coughing up all sorts of bloody globs of muscus, the result of too much lifetime smoking. I wonder if he'll make it to the next novel.
