Another by Ian Rankin-Hide and Seek. This one is set earlier than the previous one I read, however, I don't know if it's the first-the copyright sets it at 1990. The detective John Rebus is pretty much the same as the other one-maybe not yet quite as hard-bitten or depressive. Still on the streets of Edinburgh. This book contrasts the seamy side of the city with new businesses, new homes, prosperity. Rebus senses something wrong with a seeming overdose but has difficulty coming up with hard proof to even turn it into a "case". Again, well-written. Is it too gloomy to continue?
