Ilustration To Books Tooth and Nail (Inspector Rebus #3)
Drafted down to the Big Smoke thanks to a supposed expertise in the modus operandi of serial killers, Inspector John Rebus is on a train south from Edinburgh. His Scotland Yard opposite number, George Flight, isn’t too happy at yet more interference. It’s bad enough having several Chief Inspectors on your back without being hounded at every turn by an upstart Jock. Rebus is going to have to deal with racial prejudice as well as the predations of a violent maniac. When he’s offered a serial killer profile of the Wolfman by an attractive lady psychologist, it’s too good an opportunity to turn down. But in finding an ally, he may have given his enemies an easy means of attack.Particularize Books Toward Tooth and Nail (Inspector Rebus #3)

Of all the fictional coppers I read about on a regular basis, Detective John Rebus is the least likeable. Granted, I've only just finished the third book in the series (I am reading them in order), so he may become more likeable as I progress, but right now there is nothing I like about this character. I connect on a shockingly deep level (could it be love?) with Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander, feeling a kinship with the sullen Ystad detective that I've felt with few fictional characters in myThird book in the series and Im still enjoying it. Rebus is in London helping to catch a serial killer. Its never really explained why hes been requested to help, but I didnt care. We got to see Rhona, his ex, and Samantha, his daughter. Unrealistically, Rebus finds his way around London with no problem. I still liked the book.Rankin does a great job developing a relationship between Rebus and Inspector George Flight: tentative at first and then growing respect and to friendship in the end. I

An Excellent book, and very well written. Im a big fan of the character John Rebus and Ian Rankin has done a fabulous job with each story. I like that each book is so different from each other, however the characters background and storyline is continued in each book. Detective inspector John Rebus had been requested to assist in London in tracking down a serial killer. With the bodies pilling up and the British Police not getting any closer to catching the killer they have sort out the one
This is a fast paced mystery with a couple of satisfying twists at the end.
