Black Book By Ian Rankin - Rebus Bk5

Rebus loses a lover, gains an unwanted brother, and comes face to face with a dangerous ghost from his past. When a close colleague is viciously attacked, Inspector John Rebus is pulled into a disturbing investigation involving a hotel fire, an unidentified body, and a long-buried night of violence and fear. As he digs deeper, fragments of memory and evidence refuse to stay separate, forming a case that is as personal as it is perilous. Haunted by the past and driven by the cryptic notes left behind by his injured colleague, Rebus must assemble a puzzle more complex than any he has faced before. But some truths are meant to stay hidden, and not everyone wants the answers uncovered. Perhaps not even Rebus himself.
