What is Fleshmarket Alley : an Inspector Rebus novel about?
<p><P>An illegal immigrant is found murdered in an Edinburgh housing scheme. Rebus is drawn into the case, but has other problems: his old police station has closed for business, and his masters would rather he retire than stick around. But as Rebus investigates, he must deal with the sleazy Edinburgh underworld, and maybe even fall in love.</p><h3>The New York Times - Janet Maslin</h3><p>… with the yen for overcomplication that also has him frequently citing obscure Scottish rock bands, Mr. Rankin throws in the imminent release from prison of a notorious rapist and the discovery of skeletons in the alley of the title. Exhuming those bones leads Rebus and the reader into intricate connections among the various plot threads. But as is often the case with Mr. Rankin's books, the story is secondary to the pleasure of Rebus's company. Even though he has lately discovered text messaging ("fancy a drink i am in the ox," he writes from the Oxford Bar, one of his haunts), he remains a gruff, attractive throwback to gumshoes gone by.</p>
