Summary

Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke is investigating the death of a senior lawyer during a robbery.

But the case becomes more complex when a note is discovered, indicating that this may have been no random attack. When local gangster Big Ger Cafferty receives an identical message, Clarke decides that the recently retired John Rebus may be able to help. He's the only man Cafferty will open up to, and together the two old adversaries might just stand a chance of saving Cafferty's skin.

But a notorious Glasgow crime family has arrived in Edinburgh, too, tailed by a team of undercover detectives. There's something they want, and they'll stop at nothing to get it. DI Malcolm Fox's job is to provide the undercover squad with local expertise, but he's soon drawn in too deep as the two cases look like colliding.

Meanwhile, an anonymous killer stalks the nighttime streets, focussed on revenge. It's a game of dog eat dog in the city as in the wild. Even Dogs in the Wild brings back Ian Rankin's greatest characters in a story exploring the darkest corners of our instincts and desires.

Even Dogs in the Wild

The story was as good as all the previous Rebus novels . Enough twists and turns to the plot to keep you interested.
James Macpherson is the right person to narrate the book. His accents for the different characters never faltered
If you close your eyes and listen you can "see" the story unfold as if you were watching TV

Rankin never disappoints

Couldn't wait for publishing date and downloaded as son as possible. Wish this had a hundred and forty three chapters as I loved listening to it and didn't want it to end. The reading was 100% excellent and just as I imagined the characters spoke.
First class author and first class performance.
